Your choice of artwork and background color completed the piece nicely. This is a well- written contest entry. I think you completed the challenge of the contest well.

Nice message in this-I heartily agree. Fortunately, I think most people also know this, and most of the men I know are not afraid to be tender or show their softer side on occasion. Like the rhyme in the first and last lines, too. Good luck in the contest.

Dear Mystery Poet,

Thanks for this sweet and short poem on a rather serious topic. *smile* I don't know why some men think it's an issue to be tough but tender. It's still very cool. *smile* Thanks.
