A Woman Says 'Talk Dirty To Me'...(Humor) * Comments

Rating: 4.8

A woman runs around the house all day
Thinking 'This night, I'll play,
I'll tickle his fancy when he gets home.
After all, I've cleaned, cooked, all alone.'

An insightful piece of poetry set aside for sober reflection. I appreciate the rhyme of profundity and reality. Thanks for sharing.

The poem is mystifying and leads one to a different world of thoughts.

Scores a 10 for the humor. Unfortunately I have to be hit between the eyes sometimes to get the message.

Oh, this has me rolling around.... so true and yet so characatured (I guess characatures, like cliches, are there for a reason) .... guess who I won't be showing this to! :) t x

I've enjoyed reading a number of your poems, but this one is absolutely tops for me. Written with economy and assurance, lovely images, superb pacing, gusto, and perhaps even a hint of compassion lurking behind the tough-minded farce. Nothing belabored, yet crystal clear. Neither hard nor soft on your characters. Perfect pitch on the humor of the situation. The final two stanzas are awesome. Plus the poem resonates (at least with me) far beyond the situation you describe so well. I've come back to Talk Dirty a couple of times, and each time I'm impressed. If you haven't entered this in contests or had it published, you should. This is one to be proud of. I don't often comment on others' poetry, but I felt I needed to on this one. Thanks!

This is very creative and cleverly written. It's sad, but funny too!

Now this is one witty male. This sort of repartee is usually only thought of after the event. So cruel, and yet, sadly, so true. A cleverly written, tongue in cheek piece about a wife whose expectations were set just too high. You pen comedy very well, Elysabeth. love, Allie xxxx

Ha! Ha! Ha! This was a real good but true one in life! It made me laugh inside. It's true you know? Just look at a woman b'for ya marry her and then look at her mama and you'll see what your future wife will look like in say-ten to fifteen to twenty years down the road. They enevitibly turn out the very same as a spitting younger image. I don't know if that will be a good thing or not? But if her mom is fat you can very well be sure that after the marriage the new wife will feel safe after awhile to let herself go to pot so to speak! God bless all poets-thin or fat-MJG.
