I Am Your Wife, Touch Me Not

Rating: 4.0


The globe is hot
Days seem long, but
Nights are short
I am 'She' not,
I am your wife
Touch me not.

We have a flat
With gangs of rat
Morn to eve, you merely chat
Doing nothing widen in fat
More than you, I need a cat
I am 'She' not,
I am your wife
Touch me not.

My dear cot,
Poetry will one day make you rot
House tasks lot
You are unfit to lift a pot
I am 'She' not,
I'm your wife
Touch me not.

Poetry will not put a hat
On your bald head nobody pat
Sure, 'She' not
My dear bat,
I am your wife
Touch me not.

It is the reality of a poet's life.Poem addiction is not cur able. Poem does not put hat still the poet writes.

Your poem's central idea is a reality esp. tf the poem is a romantic one....but the underlying philosophy will be definitely appreciated by one and all.....in a lighter vein your lines are very much enjoyable...

Quite funny, yet a little bite to the realism! Thank you for sharing.

The poem's title caught my attention.Really humerous poem though based on a real life situation.Poets have to endure such scorn in their home just because they write poem.But they would rarely leave their passion for the mundane task at home.

Poetry will one day make you rot House tasks lot You are unfit to lift a pot I am 'She' not, I'm your wife Touch me not. Wow Sir, it's not mere comedy. A great picturization of the life of helpless hubbies in front of the commanding materialistic wives, so beautifully painted. Hats off Sir, I don't feel shame to show my baldness atop too. My words can't praise your poetry to the extent I wanted to. 1000++++ Subhas
