One would surmise that there is more to this then meets the eye, as the question at the end beckons the reader to think a bit. A rambling poem that kept me interested. Thanks for sharing, God bless

Well done. I have to say I wholeheartedly agree that more perspectives need spotlight. Funny that in every story, the bad guy usually has a reason he's bad. I know I wasn't the bad guy in my story, but it sure was written this way! Congrats on the recognition.

A bitter pill to swallow...

Realized enough in enough homes to share...

I hasten to add I think these things happen slowly, over the years...

Words either unspoken or screamed -- each beckoning silence from the other side.

Rarely is the blame on one or the other.

Enough shortcomings to share and share alike.

Thought provoking, evocative work.

I would suggest an "inclinator" or move to a house with the master on the main. But then, this sounds like maybe there are more problems than the stairs leading to the master 'bedroom'. Just sayin'.

Well written, fast pace and power packed message.

Blessings
Janet

    Oh yes, far more problems.
    We divorced after 23 years.

Your writing and the presentation of this verse is very good and kept my interest as I quickly read down the page... the speed helps support the frustration and tongue-in-cheek comments. Well done and well written.

Doug,
This is a man who seems on the way to divorce because he seldom sleeps in his own bedroom with his wife. He gives some of the reasons he can't make it to the bedroom. Hip surgery is a good one but the rest aren't.
Is he partially causing the negative environment?
Keep writing and stay healthy

    Am I also causing a part of the problem?
    I would say, of course, though I really
    did not, and do not, believe it. Everyone always shares a part of the blame. Just tried to elucidate a man's point of view.

The author's words are interesting, unique, descriptive and creative.
I enjoyed the read of this poem. What I thought about is that many of
us do what is familiar and comfortable. In order to change we need to feel the loss of the habit - then change, not easy! Great Poem! Thank you!

Not sure this free verse really is about the master bedroom. You do ramble a bit and your last question seems redundant. A negative environment would force anyone, man or woman to look for comfort elsewhere, that is only logical. It seems physical problems (hip) and poor choices (two story home) are contributors to this situation. Not sure why it focuses on men, when it takes two to tango or not.

    Yes, and no.
    As you are no doubt aware,
    life is never that simple.

    Thank you.

A sardonic ramble, unexpectedly cast in free verse--clever call--a startling twist on the usual bedroom imagery; point taken that this is not classified under romance!

    Ha ha.
    No, not romance,
    which is, in and of itself,
    sad.

    Thank you,
