I won't cry, but I will applaud this. It was a great self realization poem. The rhythm and the flow were great. Nice imagery. I like the last two lines. Putting the ball back in the other court. nicely done.

Your words infer you are not upset about, what I view, as unreasonable demands from someone that had no right to ask for those answers. You seemed to do what you thought was right.

Crying helps - realizing the truth makes healing faster.

Liked this very much.

Good use of the abcb rhyme scheme. Good end rhyming. Good perfect rhyming with man/can...cage/rage...some/say...does/doing/do...don't/debt. Good rhythm and flow. Good clear message that holds my attention from start to finish.

Difficulties in a relationship when people are strong-minded. Your rhyme works well and you have made good use of language. Maybe, an illustration would be good to make it more attractive to the reader, hope you don't mind me suggesting it. Faye

    Hi Faye,
    I don't mind suggestions at all.
    Personally I don't usually use pictures as I prefer not to influence a readers imagery.
    Thanks for the review, it's appreciated.
    cheers

mrgrunty: I called Argentina. . .they never heard of you and have heavier matters to cry about. . .I'm not sure if this is a relationship which ended. . .or what? It read emotionless, non-caring. Perhaps it just wasn't a realistic relationship so deep feelings never had transpired. Hmmmmmmm. . .livelylinda

This is a very powerful poem. You communicate theme clearly. The tone is appropriate to the subject matter. The rhyming scheme enhances the piece.

No, no, no tears. I like this one but it doesn't have the emotional pack like so many of yours do. I do so love this stanza though


Tell you that I'm sorry,
for things before we'd met.
Not your place to judge me,
I don't owe you that debt.

That's wonderful, my friend. Nice job and so good to read you.

    hey sweets,
    I tried to remain a bit aloof from it so as not to get too carried away myself.
    Glad you dropped in my dear!

Well I hope she reads this poem. Not the most romantic perhaps but you have made a brave effort to get her, or rather talk her round to take you as you are. That's all she is going to get - one cannot give more than that. Your final stanza tells me you are aware of her displeasure. So smarten up - or else. A good read - five stanzas in good abcb rhyme.

    Hi Dorothy,
    thanks for the great review and thoughts. It has since ended several months ago so this is kind of a retrospective I suppose.
    Again, thanks

    Hello there again!
    It's a two way street where there is blame to share but sometimes one partner (male or female) is blind to their own shortcomings but recognises them falsely in someone else.
    I believe the single reason for relationship failure is the lack of HONEST OPEN COMMUNICATION. False communication is almost worse than none.
    Thanks hon for the great response!
