Comment from Kentucky Sweet Pea
I love the subtle humor in this piece, and indeed, it does get the point across quite effectively! LOL! We used to have a lot of these type (shotgun) weddings in KY, but now nobody can find Daddy. I think he went down to the bar to get a pack of cigarettes. Hmmmm... That was three years ago. ;)
Great job and good luck in the booth!

Thank you so much Penny, poor Daddy, couldn't cope any longer. You've made me laugh my friend. Cigarettes heh? I think he may have shot through with another woman!
Warmest regards and thanks

HI Marijke, this poem suits the contest requirements so perfectly. It is written with lots of passion and emotion and the pic compliments it really well. The words used to describe the scenario, do justice to this fine verse. Love the last 2 lines I've got you know..... great poetic piece of artworkalways a fun day. Take care and write on, smiles from Mel

Thanks again, and I had fun with this one too. Wasn't going to enter this one, then this thought came to me. (I think my muse Bruce was sitting on my shoulder).
So here it is, for better or worse (so to speak).
Warmest regards and more hugs

Comment from Joan E.
This seems like the same artist, with another model in a similar condition. Nothing like a shotgun wedding to get him to pay "attention." I liked the way you resolved this entertaining poem.

Thanks Joan, I enjoyed this piece. "Back in my time ...." as I tell the kids, this is what happened! Sex before marriage? Never!
Yes, he should have got the message, and she should have got her man.

Hilarious (it's like an episode of Jerry Springer, except it rhymes...). I know that if this letter was presented to me, it'd hold some sway. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from sgalletti
I'm enjoyng reading these love letter entries. It is a very diverse group of entries with very different approaches--some funny, some serious. Most, well done! Very fun and funny entry here about a truth - capturing a man in marriage through a pregnancy! Loved your rhyming couplets. Best of luck in the contest. Sue

Comment from Belinda
Now this is going to be exciting :) He will never take your love for granted again. Hurry up tell your Pa and brothers to finish up this business. This poem of unrequited love has a threat in it, good!

Comment from hotstuff
Oh, how sad that a marriage has to start this way with one partner feeling trapped. Your poem highlights this not so uncommon fact of life and although the marriage can work out it is hardly a good start in life. A good contest entry.
