I 100% understand the entire meaning of this well-crafted piece you have offered. Wow, if love was money, I'd be broke as well, my friend. Thank you for sharing.
God bless,
Steve

Nicely done! Your poem captures a raw exploration of love. I thought the repetition of "if love was money, I'd be broke" is so perfect! I thought your poem shared an "emotional deficit" so well. Very creative and so well written!

Welcome to FS. I hope you grow to enjoy life here as much as I do.
This is an interesting poem for your first post. I liked the randomly-placed repetition line. It acted as though it was giving punctuation to the poem, and its words were well-chosen. kay

You are a man who wears his heart on his sleeve and shares it openly. There is nothing wrong with that. Find the right one and you'll be rich with love, joy, enchantment and fun.

Congratulations on your milestone post. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

Congratulations on your first milestone post!
I enjoyed your poem! I just have a few notes:
Your title should have "were" in place of "was" (It's because of the subjunctive mood, if you don't want to take my word for it)
The same thing goes for that "if love was" sentence that's repeated through the poem
"remaining remnants" is redundant
Thanks for sharing your poem, and best wishes to you.

Wow, this is a great first entry. Very well done.

I especially liked this part as it was neatly worded:

Lighitng my cigarette for another toke, I think again
if love was money, I'd be broke
drivin' in my truck on my way to work
tryin' to make a buck
and taking it all without a quirk

(You did misspell 'lighting' though)

Very good start on FS. So, welcome aboard! The standard rating is a five star. If you really like something give it a six star but be thrifty as you only get six a week. If it needs a lot of work give it a four. Only a few wankers give lower than four stars. I never have.

Also don't take criticism badly. It's only meant to help you improve and fix your work up before competitions. We are all a team on here with only a couple of wankers in the mix. Good luck!

That was a cute poem. I'm not sure if it was a rhyming poem or not. There were parts that seemed to rhyme, but then I don't think I saw a rhyming pattern.

As or your message, it is the message of a broken heart. It goes along with, if it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all.

I love that phrase "if love was Money I'd be broke," I think we all feel that way sometimes, and it doesn't detract from the fact this was a great post and a darn good entry in this contest, well done, blessings Roy
