'Scarecrow' is a sordid love story told through poetry. It is written from the perspective of 'the other man' and expresses the way he feels about a woman that he has admired for years. She had to be in despair, she had to know herself before she could ever understand the world that he was trying to build with her. He seduced her, she accepted. She tried to control him, he accepted. They both saw this, thus, becoming individuals, together. The affair between ‘Scarecrow’ and ‘Wordsmith’ would send waves throughout the company. For two years she was his muse and he subtly adored her from across the room. It was only after she realized that he was telling her about who she was through him, that their mild flirting turned into the love that they shared with one another. She opened up to him, from that moment on every opportunity they could find...was spent together….
The scarecrow is misunderstood by so many and yet there are so many reasons to listen to his words. This was an amazing read. I will read it again and again.
