Comment from GARY MACLEAN
All too often this is the case. No wonder women are leery of any guy they meet. It seems the guy always wants just "one thing." Even though I am well beyond my "I got me a hottie" days, I can still relate to the imbalance of emotion in a new relation.
Good stuff Nom

Thank you my friend. I am sorry you did not catch it when it was promoted. I too have seen this played out too many times. Some guys just never seem to get it.
Comment from Terry Palardy
There is an ebb and flow to this poem that is nicely captured in the chosen image. Not all connections click, and this writing tells the truth of that. Thanks for sharing.

In my opinion, a striking poem in both verse and imagery, easy and smooth rhyming in fluid movement and broken heart's desire - a depiction of unrequited love...

Comment from LJbutterfly
This is a sad poem about a sad situation that takes place every time an attractive, but average woman wants what she calls an 'above average' man with money and status. Being a Hottie is not enough to get her taken home to meet his folks. You've selected an interesting subject to put in poetic rhyme.

Thank you. Your take is not only important, timely, it is also worthy of attention.
Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Mismatched Lovers, presented with four rhyming couplets, depicts one of those couples that leave us scratching our heads wondering what one sees in the other. Sounds like, in this case, she was aiming higher than he was looking. Nice jib with this, nomi.

Well I a really relate to this poem. So many couples are mismatched it seems, bith wanting different things from a relationship. Men are from Mars and women from Venus as the saying goes. How true that is. Cheers. Jen.

Thank you Jen. Sadly you are absolutely correct. Even more sadly, when some men try to do the right thing, it is not always trusted or appreciated.
Comment from Boogienights
You are right! So many can relate to this well written poem, which is truly sad. I got lucky when I met my husband, but more often then not, love ends up like this. Thank you for sharing. :)

Thank you for a great review. When two people want different things and neither are willing to compromise, well, you where they are headed.
Comment from MissMerri
The most telling line of this intelligent poem: "He did not care about her heart." Wow Nomi, you said a mouthful in those few words. That is the most important part of any relationship, I think... to care about and FOR the other's heart. Thanks for posting this most thought-provoking poem.
I enjoyed reading it. Very nicely presented too. Great picture! MM

You have done an amazing job with your poem! I love the last line, "She grew tired of life inside an empty shell." Brilliant and creative. I love your expressive poem.

Thank you very much. These review comments are so good that singling out one for a nomination is very difficult.

None were surprised that they failed to jell.
She grew tired of life inside an empty shell.
So well written. I enjoyed reading this, even though it's sad. But it's true. Very well done. Nothing to correct or suggest for improvements.
Excellent work.
