I always enjoy your succinct poems, and obviously so does everyone else--congratulations on winning this contest. Your self-deprecating wit is very effective. Cheers- Joan

Exceptional

Your poem is very creative, I had never heard the comparison between money and making love however, it is a good comparison, I am thinking now what is more rewarding and definitely on my eyes it is making love.

Thank you, Shakti, for your wonderful rating and review. I agree with you, on my eyes is making love also. Bill

This is a witty poem. Your wife is mean to say that and she should do something to help that if she sees it a problem. She seems to be a greedy person who spends love like money.

Keep writing

Congratulations!! This is really good. I don't think I would have won so why enter. Sorry, just in a blah mood. I like the ribbon you got. :D
Is that you in the photo?

Hello Rasmine: Thanks for your excellent review, I appreciate it. I'm in my tenth year here at Fanstory and I've discovered over the years that it's best to select a few of your favorite styles of poetry that always pops up in the daily writing prompt contests. Then, in your spare time work on them until you get them just right and save them somewhere. That's a lot easier than trying to come up with something in just a few hours after the prompt is announced. And, believe me, the same prompts are run over and over again every day. It's just a matter of waiting for the right one.

No, that's not me in the photo. I'm much older. That's a photo that I found on google a few years ago. I think I've won 3 or 4 contests using that picture. That's another thing I do in my spare time, search for photos that are just right for certain contests. Sometimes a great photo will get you more votes than your writing. Good luck to you my friend. Bill

Congrats on the contest win with this clever Senryu in which you certainly did well with the format of making fun of yourself. Very amusing in so few words,
cheers

Thank you, Kiwi, for your great comments. I really appreciate it. Yes, you're right, wives can be like that.

However, let me say one other thing. What a sad and lonely world this would be without you. You ladies are what gives us men a reason for living and I thank God for you...Bill

Hi there;
What a sad state of affairs! Not sure whether to feel sorry for you or your wife. In either case, the poetry was well written and a great use of the allotted syllable count.

Congratulations,

~patty~

Thank you, Meia, for your excellent review, I appreciate it. This was true many years ago, however, this past November we have been together for 50 years. So, it's just the opposite (ha). Have a great day my friend...Bill
