Comment from Mary Vigasin

Excellent

I love this. You sometimes hear of people looking for perfection in a person. He or she has to be beautiful or handsome. When I met my husband, a friend told me he was as "ugly as a bucket of bolts." She totally missed his gentle soul and his kindness.
He is, by the way, just average-looking, the way I wanted.

Thank you, Mary, it's always good to hear from you. I appreciate that you took the time to read and review my poem. I agree with you, a beautiful soul and spirit and character is more important.

Comment from Gloria ....

Exceptional

I thought your use of humour here was most adept. You built up to the final stanza with good lead ins that cite a few faults and also his "generation", although I think tie-dye might've made a bit of a resurgence lately.

Definitely a six star here. :)

I laughed. Very funny indeed! My mom snores. Ha!

True love survives the petty, the annoying, the boring, and the hard.

Great piece of work.

No matter how much someone is loved, the need for sleep can cause a drastic change of mood. Everything is forgiven, however, when dayight arrives and we are enjoying and appreciating that special person who is sharing our life. This is a cute free verse, Gypsy, and funny, too. X Lily

Good luck wishes regarding the contest entry, Gypsy. I loved the picture of that is first on your grey haired young man and then your couple kissing or about to. I loved the way you put it, 'I Love You Even Then'. Very well done and greatly enjoyed. Blessed Be n Hugs!!!

LOL I couldn't help but laugh as I read this contest entry. I completely understand it. I love my husband of 46 years dearly, but there are days that I honestly plan his demise. I really do. This poem is funny, but unfortunately has an element of truth to it. Good luck with the contest. What I don't understand is as great as you are, you should win every contest.

Thank you, Barbara, I think there must be some kind of rule that one person can't win every contest, I only enter cash contests, so everybody has a chance. I have been pretty lucky this year, 4 so far, and I can sure use the money. Besides, it's fun to compete.

Thank you very much for your excellent and kind review. May you have a lovely day.

Lol This is such a delightful 'romantic' piece of well written poetry in which you express your love for someone despite their 'flaws'. That is my idea of true love. Why do men wear their clothes until they are worn thin lol

Another fine poem, Gypsy....and I like the part about him snoring and you thinking of killing him in his sleep. You know it's love if you can put up with that!
