You Are.........[ This Poem Had A Very Special Inspiration; Humor? ? ; Not Serious; S H O R T ]

Rating: 5.0


You are the one who polishes my shoes.
You are the one I most like …..to abuse.
You're up all day cleaning and, at night, cooking,
but, lucky for you, you're damn good-looking!

Well, I've see better, of that you can be sure,
including one bitch who had really …… fine fur.
Yes, you actually remind me (from behind) of a dog,
but if you don't stop eating, you'll look like a hog!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This poem was written in fun at the end of 2015, in response to a wonderful LOVE poem by Darlene Walsh: " Ur" , which she wrote about two years earlier (submitted Feb.2014 on PH) .i did not submit my poem until today in April 2018.i believe Darlene's poem was her feelings about her boyfriend who later became her husband and the father to her/their three children.tragically, Darlene's husband was killed shortly after i wrote my poem, written aspart of my comment on " Ur" .his death left her with a toddler and twins-on-the-way. she has found little time for PH since then, having become a single parent ofone (which became 3) AND the 'rock' to keep the family landscaping business alive, ....for her and the other employees' benefit. i happened to pick Ur to look at today, not remembering what is was about.but i DID know it was a poem by Darlene Walsh. she is a very fine writer of poems, some (i think) gory and 'scary', and some provocative prose which she shared with me.my best wishes shall always go out to Darlene! ! bri :)

I was just going through the poet's note area....it was composed way back in 2015 in response to a wonderful LOVE poem by Darlene Walsh! Very nice but you have presented her tone in different style! Surely, you have added much humor to this poem! However, I can't call it a wonderful love poem! (Cont..)

It is always lovely to read your humour. Thank You for your Poet Notes regarding Darlene. We all know of each other yet know nothing about each other. So Thank You Bri.

Now, I wonder what you looked like to her? With ice-cream dripping and a beery stench? Thanks Bri

A fine poem with wonderful rhyme. Except for the second line of the first stanza where it says: You're the one I most like to.....abuse.: -) I think it's a different kind of abuse you mean here: -) I like the humor in this poem especially the last line. It's true if one does not stop eating one would surely look like a hog out of shape. Nudershada
