This could be labeled a proverb. It is honestly very wise. Concise and clever. I like the contrasting phrases. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. And good luck to you in the contest. Gretchen

Your presentation was great, Opal. Rose. I enjoyed
reading it. The image paired perfectly with your
interesting choice of words. However, those words
worked well--esp with your title. This entry is one
which needs to be read slowly and more than once.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest, Jan

What a perfect one line poem! You have given us "the promise" made when we take our vows, as well as the unfortunate consequence that so many marriages come to. Very well done! Art work goes well with this - a great contest entry.
Good luck,
Pam

This was very cute. An excellent rendition to the contest theme. I never wrote a one line poem, this is quite challenging.
A stunning presentation. Love your choice of artwork. Thanks for your author notes and good luck in the contest.

Comment from Frank Malley
This is a funny one-liner that takes a solemn line from marriage vows and playfully finds homonyms to give a similar sounding line a salacious meaning. Good one-liners are always funny and welcome, and reworking the language of an aphorism or adage to make it very different in sense always sparks interest. I guess the male partner would 'halve and hole', while the female would 'be halved and be holed.' Which latter verb phrase gives a potential pun on 'behold.' Hmm.

I had to envision what you meant by "holed" ~ I'm guessing it refers to someone taking a piece of you. Leaving you somehow "less than?"
Even if I'm a bit off, the essence of your one-line poem comes through--and that image is quite impressive!
Great title!
Best of luck in the contest...

It's very difficult to write something meaningful in just one line, and in fact, the review will be much longer, but I think you've done, this is as good a one liner as you can get, well done, good luck, blessings Roy

Very well said in so few words. It's a very poignant point to emphasize, since many people don't practice this. Society has changed so much that people get so caught up in their own life that they forget to remember and cherish their mate or significant others. Take care of what or who you love.

Interesting entry for the One Line Poem contest. Thank you for the author notes to clarify the poem. It's hard to write an effective one line poem. Well done.
