Hey, look, one of those antique land line public phones. Oh, in Mexico, el telefono. Oh, Italy, too? This kinda rambles and the meter needs a kick or two, but I like the dialect and the storyline. Five stars.

Hi Mystery author, well, this is a beautifully written poem which seems almost lyrical in its presentation and structure, Once I started reading it carried me along at a fair old pace.
Great rhyming and a wonderful rhythm leading to a great creative flow.
Good luck in the contest my friend.

Very nicely written and good contest entry.
You never seemed to notice how much I really care.[I know cared doesn't rhyme with there, but grammatically, it should be cared.]

They never seem to know what the want, these women. This makes for a great entry for the contest, and you have really caught the drama of the break-up, make-up, break-up dance that we all have been in, at one time or another with your rhymes. Good luck with the contest.

Revenge is sweet. Were I still dating, I'd hang this on my wall, ready to use your words if someone dumped me and then changed their minds. Charming reversal of first and last lines about closing the door.

I liked how you created a voice for this character. usually you see the wronged woman, but here is the wronged man. that twist made it really interesting. Also I got a sense of the character in the line, "I mean, it was something I ain't never seen before,"

Hah-hah! Well... you sure told her, buddy! It serves her right, too, doing you the way she done. Who the hell knows how a woman's mind works -- except for maybe another woman? I gave up tryin' to figure 'em out a long time ago. Why wrack yer brain-pan just beatin' it against the wall? What's gonna happen's gonna happen, and there ain't a damn thing anybody can do about it. 'Cept maybe the gal herself, but that hardly ever happens...'cept in the movies, maybe...

Seriously, Anonymous Author, I had a lot of fun reading this. The meter is a bit choppy in some places, and I stumbled over a couple of lines -- but nothing major. For a poem of such great length, I think you did a fabulous job.

Good luck in your contest...~Dean

Well it sounds like this person has done the right thing and gotten over this girl who would, no doubt, bring them nothing but heartache. She ran out on this guy then expected him to still be at home waiting for her when it didn't work out.

This one just grabbed my attention and held on tightly.
You made the situation real, using prose and poetry to tell the story form both sides, but especially from his.
I think you did a terrific job of filling the prompt.
Excellent.

Wow and excellently done.
It flowed on andon and believe it or not it became a sing/song type of piece.
So easy to read and understand.
Rhyme and rhythm were spot on.
Loved the wording and the flow
