Comment from Susan Morritt
Hi JLR
I read and reread your poem many times. With such a tiny word count, you have managed to instill different imagery within a few lines.
Your use of the word "manage" I found interesting. That gives the impression that your wife is a patient woman. "Silly ways and quiet days" is a nice pairing to suggest two different sides to your personality.
I found the final line "even as life drops me into crevices" to be a surprise, and also I thought it the strongest image of the poem. "Crevices" brings to mind either depression or catastrophic dilemmas.
Well done.
Susan

Love is about appreciating each other. This was a wonder way to express yourself. It is short and to the point with rhythm and rhyme. Nice sense of humor.
God bless you :)

These two lines show a deep love. She knows all the ways to laugh and cry with her husband. He is calmed by her as he most probably calms her during her hard times. Hope this did well in the contest.
Keep writing

That's a nice romantic poem. Simply said! A good woman knows how to handle things. They are probably as hard to find as an angel.
"Keep right on writing!"
God bless!

"She Does It Well", is short, succinct and very much to the point. With a minimum of words, this talented poet has told it as it is. You KEEP WRITING and I'll KEEP READING. I look forward to seeing your next post.
