I noticed sis that this is in the general poetry category. I had to go back to the top and see because I was wondering if this was under "fiction" or "nonfiction" L O L. I don't know exactly what to say except this is funny "and" this is true. Great job Debi.

    I sure appreciate your awesome review for my fun spirited Teikei-shi poem. Thanks for the heads up on the type of poetry as I put in humor right away. I love when the Japanese have you rhyme. LOL. After all that is me all the way. Thanks again for the fun comments too, my dear brother. And for the stars too, my awesome bro. I will try to write to you tomorrow and let you know what is going on with my eye. One I am in danger of losing and am seeing a specialist daily. Please start praying for me. I will be in touch tomorrow.
    Love, Debi

    I am just now reading this on October 7 I will continue to pray for you and your I condition. I know it has to be hard to do all the writing you do with your physical challenges that are constant companion. But let me me remind you of something you already know very well: God has got your back! And God knows everything about our physical condition and he knows what is best for us, although it does seem like he sometimes gets a little confused. (He's not!)

    I was wondering how long I have been doctoring with this. My iPad is the one place I can see best right now, becasue there is some movement in the blind eye that is confusing the good eye so it is hard to deal with. Thanks so very much for your prayers.

It's always strange how women seem to know in their hearts that a man is a bad one but are still drawn irresistibly to them. As a true expert of the monorhyme verse, you've chosen the perfect form for your warning message, nicely complemented with your visual. The eyes say it all! Well done, Debi! Love Debbie xo

    Well in this case one eye tells it all. LOL..
    Thanks for the vote of confidence my dear friend. 'Twas something short and sweet for something different. I love those about this time of the week. Why I picked a bully of a man I have no idea. I must just be in one of those moods. LOL. Thanks again, Debbie. Love, Debi

    I'm hoping your eye-sight is getting better. That's so distressing for you.

This why it is so important that we teach our children how to not be blinded by the starry lights of early attraction. It can be easy to be fooled by good looks, a flashy demeanor, and such. The most important thing to look at is how does he or she react under opposition. Differ with them on something they firmly believe in and see how they react. That should tell you much about them.

Amen, Debi, amen!!!
You've done a great job with your Teikei-shi poem in represent that person we end up loving, but hating at the same time. They make fun boyfriends, but can be horrible husbands, lol.

Much love and prayer,
Rhonda

This is a very well written poem for the club event and I enjoyed very much reading it. It's a new form to me and I know that is probably a new form to others as well. Have a good day and may God bless you. Patricia.

Debi dear,
I think all us girls know a guy like this. I'm blessed to say my hubby is not like this. Witty and fun Teikei-shi poem with {{{great}}} rhyming ends.
Sending you my best today as always, my friend, and Love and Blessings abundant.

I used to work with a guy like that. I did start to despise him. Not hate, because he wasn't all bad. But he had this condescending way of handling a difference of opinion. We started calling him Know it all Nate. Apparently, all of his girlfriends had wised up because he was frequently going with someone then breaking up. Lol. Your poem just shot me down a rabbit hole of memories. Lol. Gretchen

LOL! Wow! That is a great poem. I never heard of this format before. A Japanese style. Very good. I guess I am just a rookie when it comes to writing poetry. I did not realize there were so many different forms of poetry. Great job!

Hi Debi,
This seems like a marriage on its way to divorce unless both change. It seems you are saying she went for looks and not for character and skills when she chose him.
So this is a rhyming tanka.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Have a great day.
Joan

    Good morning, Joan. I don't say anything about her except that if she was thinking straight she'd have picked a better mate. LOL, maybe she was drunk, maybe she was on the rebound, etc. But I mostly was telling about him and the part about her was supposed to be a bit of humor.

    I don't know if the Japanese would call it a rhyming tanka since they had another name for it. Y'know? It's just like if you call a 5-7-5 a haiku. They say there is a difference because of nature and all these other forms are similar too.
    Thanks so much for the kind review and comments, dear friend.
    Love, Debi

Thirty one syllables, that's a tanka isn't it Debi? I think it's an Indian form of poetry, yes indeed, one must choose the right sort of guy, beautifully written dear friend of mine, beautifully written, blessings Roy

    I think so Roy, but in a non-rhyming one. But this is a rhyming poem and I used Gypsy's club to submit, so I am pretty sure it is right. I don't do these on my own because I don't know anything about them, but like to try new things here and there.
    Thanks for your kind comments, my dear friend. Love, Debi
