Haikus About A Spouse Poem by Herbert Nehrlich

Ah, the trials and tribulations of living and loving someone who is not a poet! (and I might add, living with someone who IS a poet.) Good luck to both of you. Raynette

Have you thought of showing her all the tons of admiring comments you get? And by the way, however logical a woman is, direct romance is hard to resist even when your High School days are long in the past!

Comedy and cleverness, Herbs, two of your best features. Cracking lines. Sweetly, Gina.

I think this is funny Herbert. My kids and husband HATE my free verse poems...they feel poetry should rhyme..otherwise, it's just words (write a letter! they say) . It's so funny how our spouses and families view our poetry. Mine enjoy it (I think it's more ''tolerate'' it) but, that's as far as their ''support'' goes. Sincerely, Mary Maybe if you wrote more ''love'' poems about your wife she would get more pleasure out of it! hint, hint. (you know, use her name and make it only about her with clues of her that it couldn't mean any other woman in the world!) :)
