I personally do not see any advice in his case. Poor she had been a terrible victim of a huge hypocrisy. More I read it, more I feel sympathetic for her. Full marks to the poem.
Advices given without bothering to understand a girl's troubles thereby creating a confused and bewildered lass.good write.Thanks 75813
very interesting poem...parents always have good intentions towards their kids; but they are also humans and may not always be right....Thanks for sharing
The wordy tussle between make and female about personal matters are well exposed in this poem meant only for the couple to be careful about their way of living!

I notice there is no previous comment so I'm the first. Well, here goes. This is a prose revelation of life not uncommon. The story might be written by millions.

This is haunting, and it is beautiful. It has a ring of truth to it, which causes the reader to empathize with the poet. Extremely well done, whether fictional or not.
