Definition Of A Good Guy Comments

Ahhh, yes... a good guy. It amazes me how men mellow with age - the old habits are still there, but it seems they lack the energy to be obnoxious and ornery any more! LOL I certainly can relate, Esther, and I so enjoyed this poem! Love, CJ

If we live long enough we all become good guys....cause we lose what it takes to be bad...I mean good.

Esther, That is pretty close to what a good guy is, but not quite there! NOT to be confused with a ' perfect ' guy! I would be interested to hear your take on a ' Good woman '!

I definately relate but could never quite put it into words! Good job Esther! !

A classic case of familiarity breeding contempt! A good man is hard to find, but a hard man is good to find...oops...did I really say that :) A well expressed, if sad and 'matter of fact' summary of the flippancy in modern relationships... Take care :) Jack.

Sweet irony in this one. Seems to come from an earlier generation? Very sad without sentimentality. Reminds me of Jerry's 'Mirror Mirror' love it. Allie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Such an honest and thoughtfully crafted write Esther, I agree with Anna, 'achingly poignant' Justine.

The irony! 'once or twice' giving the chills does not for a good guy make. Your point is loud and clear and wonderfully written by means of a conversation. I'm sitting there, a fly on the wall, nodding my head (not, I hasten to add, through current experience!) Excellent E. t xx

I am touched by your sensitivity. You have a wonderful way with words. Warmth can be security in so many different ways. Take care. Love, Sandra

'Bills paid': a wondrous thing. Other tasks are fleeting. Love takes many forms, and so Love the lover that you know. Passion fades with fading years Friendship grows - and Faith endures. Perhaps I'm wrong, I've seen a side Of love that ended upside-down: Mortals locked in suicide Pacts that made immortals frown.

Achingly poignant. Nothing beats true love, bills paid or not! Hugs Anna xxx

Is he now! ! Umm, be nice to Esther she one of the good ones Love duncan X

I like your rhyme scheme and the emphasis it gives to that final line. Fine poem of love and relationships and how it is not really between just the two, but a third, Time, always as well. - chuck

To only have those few words to say is so sad. Passion has went out the door and didn't say good bye.
