Love Finds You In Poetry Texas
Have you ever dated someone from a newspaper (or online) ad? If so, what happened? Did you end up having a long-term relationship, or was your relationship short (or non-existent)?
Belinda sets herself up as a marriage broker in the small town of Poetry, Texas. Reading through newspaper ads, she pairs up eligible bachelors with potentially future wives. Only problem is, some of these matches are NOT successful. What’s Belinda to do? Should she abandon the idea of being a marriage broker and just let God lead husbands to their future wives?
Belinda pairs up Georg Kaufman, the town’s barber, with a potential bride. But, why does Belinda feel funny about setting Georg up with a mate? She wants Georg to be happy, but, why does seeing Georg with his potential mate bother her so much?
This book was a sweet, delightful read. Getting to know the characters residing in Poetry was very interesting. They’re an eclectic group of people. One man is a poet and he owns a bookstore, and he aids some of the bachelors by penning poetry for their love interests.
So, have you ever dated anybody after reading their newspaper (or online) ad? If so, what happened?
Yes, I dated someone that I met in an online ad. He seemed really nice at first but realized he wasn’t “Mr. Right.” My husband and I met through the internet, Eharmony and have been married for 6 years. A lot of people were skeptical, including me but I realized he really is “Mr. Right.”
Hey, Kathy! Yes, I met my husband through an online dating service, too! I can’t recall which one, though. I did go out with a few people that I met through that service. So, it took awhile for me to find Mr. Right! 🙂
I love the double meaning of “poetry” in this context, like the poetry of prose, of the words they exchange, is another route to love.
