I'm guessing she's having a baby? That marriage proposal could come soon enough. Thanks for the smiles and congratulations on the win!!

Thanks, Helen.
Comment from K. Lang-Slattery
Thank you for this very fun short-form poem and the fabulous illustration you chose. Which came first? the image or the poem? They are such a perfect match. Definitely "just for fun." I like your use of the word "uttered." Finding the special word is what makes this poem shine.

This 5-7-5 really did tickle my funny bone. An original subject, well-expressed, and the picture that accompanied the words was perfect. Good luck in the contest.

A surprise indeed. A baby can be a blessing, unless, you don't want children. Then it could feel like a horror movie unfolding. But some things we just need to accept and go with the flow. Fun entry, good luck with the contest.

Hahaha! This is awesome! Since there is no way I can describe how funny this is to me, let me say that this just has to be a winner! The look on your characters 's face is priceless and the words are even better!

The first two lines of this poem flow and connect well. The last line
says it all! I wasn't sure if the last line meant pregnancy or heart attack!
Either one made me smile. The artwork is great and compliments the
words and theme of this poem.

This is a great picture. The man looks like he just heard that message. You picked a great picture for your story. I enjoyed reading this poem. It made me laugh. This would be one heck of a way to get a marriage proposal. Quick and sweet. Thank you for sharing.

Does this situation, once so awkward, still require the solution of marriage. Does an affirmative answer to the question guarantee honesty in a woman until death us do part? I think we've moved on from those days. Go back to sleep.

The goal was humor, Jim. Social commentary is beyond me. : )

And it did bring a smile to my sleepy features.
