This is a good piece, such wisdom in 3 lines. The picture that you chose works perfectly with this poem. It seems that everything is rushed these days, it's important to remember that good things take time. Good luck!

Thank you very much.

You have made excellent use of your seventeen syllables in this poem, which gives excellent advice for young ladies. Girls must also bear in mind that there is a double standard for girls that aren't good and boys who aren't!

I'm not sure about some of the gals today. It seems like many of the college girls like to lure the guys with sexy behavior, have too much to drink, and then claim the guy has raped them. Hopefully, that's just a handful. I'm sure there are some girls who still like to take things slow. Good advice for the guys. Their lives will be less complicated that way. Great idea, and best of luck in the contest. judi

Thank you very much. Well, times have changed, morals and taboos too. Traditions are frowned upon and shame is gone.

You're very welcome. College gals these days think they have to be as tough as the guys. judi

That's an honest small poem, and it does contain truth. Forcing the butterfly out of its chrysalis destroys the butterfly, it must proceed at its own pace.

What about good boys?
Had to add a Feminist perspective in this day and age.
It is generally good advice, however.
(Although for my husband and me, it was love at first sight and we've rarely left each other's side since then.)
Your poem meets the requirements and the artwork is a nice touch.
Good luck in the contest.

There are no such boys. Well, maybe one or two.
Thank you.

Dear lancellot, your entry for this contest is not only a well constructed 575; but the advice it offers is priceless particularly for all young men, driven by a more urgent physical need. The illustration you found for this post is a perfect visual partner to your poem .

L,
Yep. This is a hard thought to get across to a lot of young people - boys and girls. Girls feel pressure to give in - if they love the guy. Guys feel pressure to meet the brags of their friends.
Only very secure girls can usually pull this off. Nice one. Thanks!

Hi Lance. It appears that you have learned at an early age, what most men struggle to learn in a lifetime when it comes to women. Just these few lines demonstrate that much. Good job, my friend. Bob LOL

A very well-written 5-7-5 poem about life that grow stronger when it is developing slowly. Some livers take several years before they take the next step to advance their relationship.
