Aww..9inety, I am glad you
Aww..9inety, I am glad you read this...as it was a collective pool of thought about men. My Dad could be cantankerous at times, especially as he got older. I have to say, he didn't make it easy for me to reach this point, but now that I've arrived, I wouldn't have had it any other way. I so appreciate your reads. Thank you so much. ♥
...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."
"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
all of the
men in your life are very lucky to have you in their lives. As for your Father, cantankerous goes with the territory, although, I am not a part of the exclusive circle of men you have alluded too. I must add, I am moved by all that you have so eloquently expressed, your esteem, and your heartfelt love in your excellent poem, because I am a man, I feel lucky too, that I can read your thought provoking expressions of love and life.
peace Dylan

I think this is wonderfully
I think this is wonderfully honest and loving and funny too! Reminds me of a "book" I gave/wrote my honey one year for his b-day called "34 Reasons Why I Love You".
You're a very talented writer....I will be reading more!
"Because he hurt my
"Because he hurt my feelings,
because he loves me"
says it all. This says it all. I think the lack of punctuation creates an almost flowing monologue tone because feelings are never clear and people often talk to themselves. Great work (:
most people do not want to
most people do not want to accept the bad with the good...they live in a fantasy world. glad you agree. thanks for reading.

Comment
A new way of using so many 'Because' because you thought, because would help you to bring out so many reasons for you thought differently to describe bald head, crooked tooth and what not!
