jaybird1,

You, many years ago but it is my husband right now. lol The poem flowed well. The theme was very nice. Very reflective, all thoughts are very well described, understandable and comprehensible.

There was no SPAG. No typos. No homophones. No problems at all.

I look forward to seeing you again.

Love you,

Oatmeal

Really enjoyed this excellent poem, which flowed effortlessly,
lovely rhythm and rhyme throughout with some wonderful lines within.
The chosen subject of a beard was unique and gave me a smile.
I particularly enjoyed the last stanza which completed this excellent poem tremendously well.
Mitchell.

Humorous write, Jay. I do think that it's the beginnings of a beard that is the real "wife repellent." After the hairs soften, it's not so bad and might improve the face.
One typo:
"unstead of female furor" (instead?)

A fun concept to the read. There is a playful feel behind the lines, which makes for a pleasant piece.

I would encourage taking a look at some of the syllable counts in some of the lines. A majority of the piece reads smooth, however there are a few stumbles due to the longer syllable count. Likewise, **Instead** in place of **unstead** in stanza 3.

Overall, a nice piece of work - Cheers!

A very well-written poem about a bearded man. To meet a man with a beard for the first time is most of the time a strange experience. I myself prefer a clean shaved face.

Typo.

You bring up a good point, my friend.
Women change their appearance at whim,
and with little flak.
Every man should give his facial hair a sprout at least once.
But not so others can approve or disapprove.
But so he can.

Peace, Lee

This speaks how a man grew beard hoping it would bring grace, dignity and charm but it brought in grief, taunts and severe criticism and made him bewildered; I liked.
