This Poem Is About A Woman

Comment from Shanbreen
Bob, all the negative things you paint about a woman seems like the man should have left a long time ago. As I see it, many people, are so used to their better-halves that they often fall in a trap where you can't live with them and you can't live without them. I think, often times, especially when one gets older, remaining together may often be because of the utility value (loneliness included) of being with each other.
I am so glad you have a loved one by your side for the last 40 years.
But then, a smile or a mere touch, reminds us that love still remains to make one's life complete.
Best for the contest.

A very unique love poem. Your love was equal amounts of fear and love. Well as long as you were happy , I guess the fear was worth it.
Good entry for the A poem about a Woman contest.

Sorry, I thought I had replied to your great review. Thank you for taking the time to look at my work. It is most appreciated.
Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, This Poem is About a Woman, presented with five AABB-rhymed quatrains, tells the story of a forty-year connection that has been "endured" by the poet. The theme seems to place her in a fearsome position, but we see ultimately that it is a good relationship.

That is a lovely comment. And yes, I am a lucky man. I greatly appreciate your saying 'my love shines through.' Maybe I should correct that. I think you confused live with fear.
Comment from Aussie
Brilliant AABB writing. I loved your poem that is so true.
You can now buy an electronic button to press that says, "yes,dear." If it gives peace then say it. It's better than arguments and times of no speak. My parents were always arguing and shouting. One reason I left home!

Brilliant is not a word I hear often. I really think silence accompanied by a smile delivers a much more potent message than any angry outburst. And I agree with your words. Everything is better than 'arguments and no speak.'
Comment from LJbutterfly
This poem about a woman (your wife) is hilarious, and I hope is just a joke.
However, it sounds as though the two of you are perfect for each other if you've managed to remain married forty years. Congrats! I most love your final line..."She made my life complete." Best wishes in the contest.

Glad you read the message I intended. We haven't remained married all that time. We separated, divorced and then remarried around a decade later.

It was intended as fun and prior to posting it had to pass the Editor's scrutiny. And like many politicians, editors can be influenced. And it only cost fifty dollars and a smack in the mouth.
Comment from Jill D
This poem cracked me up.. It's hilarious and the rhyming is spot on. Sounds to be like the perfect marriage...'Happy wife happy life':)) The final verse is beautiful!
All the best Bob!

Lol! No messing with Jeanette;)

Dolly, your comments are always welcome. I can now confess to the truth. When I wrote this, I had no intention to post it. Then, after showing it to the boss, she urged me to post it. So, it's her fault.
