An excellent entry for the A Poem About a Woman contest. The tribute you wrote shows an enduring love for one special person, filled with a touch of humor, which is the perfect combination. Nicely written Good luck in the contest.

Hope she doesn't read this, but she really is pretty good. Then again, if she does, I might earn some brownie points. Thank you for your review.
Comment from Julie Helms
If this had been a blind entry, I would've sworn it was Reese Turner who's always talking about being married for 47 years to the meanest woman.
I love the humor and devotion mixed in with the fear. Great entry for the contest!

Glad someone picked up on my true motivation, fear. Truly, this was written as a tribute to my wife. There are many things I'd change in my life, Jeanette is not one of those things.
Comment from Esther Brown
Sounds like "Yes Dear" works. Princess Bride was "As you wish". My sweet hubby puts up with his old cougar. When he hollers from the other room and I respond "I can't hear you", he now just says "Love you anyways". I am deaf, and his marbles sometimes not all aligned. Esther

Yes dear, works for me. And if the doesn't work I give her my wallet. It's amazing how many favour's thirty dollars can buy. Begging forgiveness also helps.
Comment from Begin Again
What a lovely tribute including the humor. I imagine she was very proud when she read it. I sounds as you two are perfect for each other.
Smiles, Carol

Your half right, I'm perfect and Jeanette's very forgiving. And I guess after forty years you sort of get to know each other and sometimes you get to like each other. I was so lucky.

Nice to see you again. Did you get into too much trouble with the wife so you haven't been back to read my story? I hope not! Have a great day! Smiles, Carol
Comment from Nicole Schmidt
This poem is about a woman, the one who controls all I think an' say,
She's not big or angry, but I'm too frightened to ever think I'd disobey.
Her eyes can fill with fury and my mouth opens, an' I say, 'Yes dear.'
Then I run seeking relief, thanking God the door's so near.
Love how this flows along nicely

Comment from tempeste
Despite the woman is the domineering type, you stay with her. She is a very lucky lady.
I enjoyed the dark humour :
This poem is about a woman, who gives me all I need,
An' if I do what she tells me, some nights I'll get a feed.
No more partying with the lads, your ev'ry response is now, 'Yes dear
We have this idea that everyone else is living awesome lives but the truth is every home has its dark secrets. Or is she bossy even with others outside?

It's easy to write nice things about nice people and Jeanette is really a nice lady. Sadly her taste in husband's is not as good as my choice in a wife.

Ciao !
I thought the poem was about your wife
Many members I have realized also invent many stories to gain the reader's sympathy.
So, who's wife are you talking about, or is she just fictional?
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Aww, you're not really scared, Bob! You just know she's always in the right and it's not worth arguing the toss! I think you've had fun writing this. It's full of character and humour and tells a story about a very happy marriage that you wouldn't change in any way. I enjoyed the partial repetition of lines and the delightful, relatable dialogue. In fact, the whole verse was a pleasure to read. Well done and take care, Debbie

You are so right, I'm not scared, I'm bloody terrified. Thank you again Debbi, your reviews are always so generous. You are one of my favourite reviewers.
Comment from Tom Horonzy
No ill intent intended but "I" struggled in places with the syllable count; however that being noted it is a fun-filled and very understandable life that she has let you lived. Well done.

Tom, another very kind review. Please never worry about offering critical comment. That is how we writers learn to get better.
Comment from EeanBlack
Wow , I hope she's not your mom? Seriously, this is very touching. It does connect with me. Good writing. I do not aspire to being a poet. It seems to be an intellectual pursuit. I need to have the words flow.

I'm not sure I want to be a poet either. My first love is the novel. That though is a difficult market. To be published is my dream.

I want to put together ten short stories and self publish just to get into print, then pitch the book idea to a full time accredited publisher.

I think her exact words were; "What are you sucking up for?" And I said nothing. I didn't see the punch coming. Thanks for a great review.
