You've written an excellent story and entry for the contest.
Pretty much sums up life in this modern impersonal world.
Clever twist at the end.
Well done
Good luck in the contest

Hey! Whaddya doin' here? Are there cameras aiming at me and my poor put upon husband who has been subject to multiple readings of whatever poetic endeavor I have labored on while he was squandering his time making a living! (huh?) All you needed was my husband's trademark "eyeroll" when I say--"Honey? So I wrote this poem...." I'm about splitting a gut here. TOOOOO funny!--Karenina

Once again, Karenina, I find your review more entertaining that many things I read (and write) here, so thank you for that! Better than an everything bagel with my coffee;^)
Comment from Rachelle Allen
Wow! Men are taking SUCH a HIT in these contest entries!!! It almost seems like that could be the theme!! This one was cute, though...and, of course, Steve has earned Jules' silent treatment!!! He needs way more Relationship Etiquette classes, I'm thinking!! Good luck in the contest. xo

That could be a contest itself: rhyming list of topics in a Relationship Etiquette class. Thanks, Rachelle!

Ooooh! I think you're onto something here!! Let's explore it more when I know your identity! xo

I wish I had a six left for this one. Short, sweet and funny. It is true that some people don't even realize that there is a message there for them.
It is easier to 'not get it', than to take it on board.
Best of luck in the contest

Now for the hard part, I must come up with as many characters of praise as ar in your original post. Your twist reminds me of an old joke of where the wife tosses her husband he panties and says put these on.....

Comment from Michele Harber
Oops! I'm glad I'm not in Jules' husband's shoes at the moment. On those rare occasions I ask my husband's opinion on my work, I do expect honesty, but there is such a thing as cushioning that honesty. This is a fun and believable read, and I wish you luck in the contest.

Agree, there's a fine line between constructive honesty and blunt repudiation. Thanks, Michele!

You?re right, and you?re welcome.
Comment from Cindy Warren
Poor dumb Steve. That's even worse than telling her the dress makes her look fat. Sometimes you have to know when to lie. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Raul1
It is an interesting write. I think that I do get what these two are talking about. She mentions her own poem and tells him that is the way it is. Nice work! Very good poem!

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written fifty word flash fiction story. Many partners seem to live together but they are often worlds apart in their interests and hobbies that is a breeding place for misunderstandings.
