Very interesting, and very different. It seems that the man is trying to understand, trying to accommodate her every wish, tring to be flexible and "bend" - but she needs to be willing also. Fine poem about the difficulties of relationships.

Comment from QC Poet
Sometimes it takes a while to find the right person for you. Being flexible is definitely difficult I needed to find someone completely opposite of me as I didn't like my ways. Thanks for Sharing your Thoughts and Sentiments

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Bending often means a compromise that is fought against, it makes sense to agree to move forward and when we make a connection and dancing is just give and take, a fine poem, love Dolly x x x

Comment from Rachelle Allen
This poem has everything: poignancy, stoicism, hopefulness, confusion, intensity, good memories, understatedness, not-so-great memories, all to a back-beat rhythm that makes me feel like I'm on a houseboat, rocking in the night. If this were music, it would be soft background jazz. I'm going to have to print this one out. It's fantastic.

Wow. I mean Wow.
I do love a lot of my previous reviews. But?I have to say
this one set me back in my
chair. Motionless.Started to feel bizarre, so I just thought I?d say Thank you.

Comment from estory
The rhythmic elements of this piece just leapt off the page. You caught the rhythm of walking step by step side by side, you caught the rhythm of breaking relationships, of trying to nail it back together again; this really showed a mastery of the concept that form should be for the framework of a theme. And the images went hand in hand with the rhythm. The broken dance step, the collapsed bridge...this was an awesome post, my friend. estory

My oh my, my achin??
back, of course. Lol
I just got done reading one of the best reviews I?ve ever had, and here comes you.
My Lord, I am grateful for the support. Genuine appreciation and understanding of the poem.
I?m humbled. Seriously.
But so happy someone sees.
Thank you,
Doug
Comment from Allieas
I really felt like you offered us a piece of your innermost world in this poem. It felt vulnerable and real, though it's almost as though this is a struggle for you in the relationship you refer to.
My suggestion? Let her read this poem. Thank you for sharing this!

I did. There was no comment. I have asked and explained the poem
twice. And this is from a woman who has read all my poetry, and I never knew this till now.
Thank you,
Doug
Comment from JanPerry
Hellow Victor. I don't know why you have put end...less like this. It's not conveyed in your poem. However your poem shows intelligence and insight.
Not many new ideas or answers are given. Why are men so emotion..less? Women don't get it. I don't understand why they don't have feelings either.

Well, I don?t know, I guess.
I don?t think men really are
emotionless. Without feelings. But, I don?t think you really mean this. It?s just the frustration we all feel when
reality meets utopia.
Thank you,
Doug
Comment from jake cosmos aller
I like this poem about love from a man's point of view
like the last lines
Not been
with a smile.
My style.
But,
still tryin'
that last mile.
Just
a walk,
with
a woman...
I love.

Thank you, Jake.
I have been thinking of you lately. Seoul, S. Korea.
The infantile psychopath of N
Korea. Do you feel safe there
still?

I read, the uncertainty of a man trying to salvage a love (relationship) that he has not quite understood, why they-he-she- could not bend (agree to compromise) a wonderful read, very well written****kahpot

Hi Doug,
A very soulful poem, my friend. I could sense a bit of regret and introspection in your words. In one sense, you're saying that you were raised to not show feelings, opposed to a woman requiring it of you. The classic cowboy mounting his horse and heading into the sunset. We are who we are, but we do have the ability to self evaluate.
Take care,
Rhonda
