Very good entry for the writing prompt, "married, are you". Sometimes these are hard to make sense in so few words but you have met the challenge beautifully.
well done.

A very well-written 5-7-5 poem about marriage that is suppose to last a lifetime. Sometimes we are giving up too quickly and call for divorce but other times it is the best option.

    I'm currently in the hospital,Yvette, so I don't know how great my week will be.
    But you do the same.

Here's sending you a special prayer to regain your strength and find your way back to a more comfortable place to be....I will be sure to keep you in my thoughts as I sit out on the front porch this evening (not joking, there, sir!)...take care of yourself! :) :) Yvette

Hum... Some humbling words of reassurance. Foremost. You're already engulfed in troubled watets, if you have to have doubts about your commitment and relationship. Time to seek professional counseling or seek a friend. Nice entry to the prompt. Good luck! BOO Ghost. Oh, nobody misses a ghost.

This is a wonderful response to the married, are you, prompt. I like that you chose to address this with a sincere emotion. It's the most poetic one I've read so far. I think you've earned my vote. :)

Much is said in this short and very meaningful poem. Honesty, transparency, humility and gentleness are all behind the words. And love is still alive waiting to be demonstrated.

    Good evening Yvette. I did have laughs and giggles at reading your note. We had a summer heat blast today. I'll visit your again, I think you might have some funny reads. But funny or not I'll read again your poetry. Have a jolly good week.

Excellent commentary on marriage. I love the set up of the first two lines and the third line is such a winner. The firmness of the commitment for the questioner but the uncertainty in which asked just resonates. Hugh

Your use of enjambment allow you to be innovative with the question ' married, are you? - and thereby turn your poem into one that extols the virtues of sticking it out as opposed to a poem about cheating. Original! Good luck in the contest - this looks like the winner.

Excellent entry into this contest! I like how this poem suggests that it's hard work to maintain a relationship and that people make mistakes and can forgive and work through the troubles. You've used the phrase nicely here!

    Good Morning, Kelly, and thanx for the read and review -- yeah, I'm pretty sure all the hard work is in the really, really fine print hidden somewhere down there between 'in sickness and in health' and 'til death do us part' - LOL! ;) Appreciate your stopping by and be sure to have a wonderful week of windy wishes topped with clouds of whipped cream!! :) :)
