LOL Thank you for sharing this writing prompt entry with us. Yes, there are a lot of losers out there. I heard a line one, "You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince charming." That's probably correct. LOL

Thank you Barb, and yes I did kiss a few! But the only line that was true was the last line, because that was the last one about my husband of 48 years.
The second to last one was to be humorous about the picture of Frankenstein, where I talk about his height, his kiss being a bite and that he is a monster. And saying that frankly Frank, I don't give a damn. Lots of people missed that so just saying. Thanks my friend for the awesome review and comments. So appreciated!

This is a great poem, I love the iconic repeating line from Gone with the wind. Haven't we all met those types you describe, at least once in our lives? Best if luck in the contest. :)

I kept thinking back to the Rhett Butler line from Gone With the Wind....which I think was your very clever intent!
Huge props for originality and humor here! I have met my fair share of "monsters!"

Comment from K.L. Rockquemore
This is a terrific verse!!
You have done an excellent job with the prompt, very clever and creative.
The rhymes work well without force and flow naturally.
The metre gives it a quick tempo, guiding the reader at a rapid pace to the final thought.
I also enjoyed the whimsical undertone, very effective.

Comment from LateBloomer
Hello author, your poem is very clever. I like how you blended the title with a quote from "Gone with the Wind." Your poem beautifully illustrates the trials and tribulations of dating, and how waiting for Mr. Right pays off with a life of love vs. hell.
Your poem reads and flows well and has silky rhyming within. Great presentation. I love the font and photo choice. I especially liked:
Not sure what I saw in you, perhaps it was your height
At first I loved your kisses, but once I felt you bite
(Poet, I, too, have a weakness for tall men.)
Also:
I've met my share of losers; oh the things that I've found out
Yet this guy seems much different, I doubt that there's a doubt
(Poet, when all doubt disappears, you want to keep that guy near,
and maybe even marry him.)
A fun poem. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

Margaret, how lovely of a review and comments and your gracious six stars.
I can't thank you enough! Just wondering if you caught that the stanza that I speak oh his height, biting and that he was a monster named Frank, was in reference to Frankenstein, who is in the picture? Also the last stanza is really about my husband. Some didn't even notice the picture. Thanks so much again my lovely friend!

Yes, I did notice that the photo was of Frankenstein and that he was referred to as Frank. Just sharing...Fred Gwynne who played Herman Munster, and before that, he played on Car 54, lived in my apartment building when I was a little girl. Margaret

Yes. Growing up in NYC, it wasn't uncommon to see Stars. Many of them lived in the neighborhood. I lived only a few blocks away from the Broadway theater district. M

powerful and moving poem about love, obsession, missed opportunities and finally meeting the woman of your dreams, and finding she is more than she seems as you finally give a damn.

Comment from sunnilicious
That was an unusual halloween poem, however, enjoyable to read. It matched the norm of feelings that sometimes happen in real love relationships. You're funny. The repeat line worked in wonderfully. Nicely done. Excellent work.
Good luck in the contest. Happy Summer :)

Thank you so much for your kind review, but this was not a Halloween poem. It was for the prompt, Love Bites. Just using an unusual approach to it, that's all. Thanks again my friend.

The author's words are interesting, strong, clear, perceptive, descriptive and creative. I found these words engaging and just wanted to read more of the author's observations! The poem made me smile a lot and the last stanza said it all! The artwork is awesome and compliments these words.

I thought this was lots of fun, melding classical cinema with monsters and modern dickweeds, lol. The refrain worked well, keeping this focused. Great fun - I very much enjoyed the read.

Thanks so much Mike. I really appreciate your very kind review of my silly approach to the Love Bites prompt. You are always so very kind my friend.
Comment from dragonpoet
This is a witty and sarcastic poem about how much a man can be different in a relationship that when you just meet. It also shows that there is always the right man for you no matter how many losers you go through first. Each one is a learning experience. I like the repetition and the slight change int the last line of the poem.
In the second stanza narcosis should be narcissist.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
