Good reading Tom. I don't want to swell your head too much (since you are prone to such) Did you ever sing that old pop country hit about how hard it is to be humble? Can't wait to look in the mirror... better looking each day..probably many (of us) have, no matter mostly in jest or how untrue. Boy that last name has got to have been an adventure. Your skin is probably pretty tough.

    Thanks? I?m unsure what the last name was

    I may have miss- read the tenor of your poem somewhat. (I thought it was you
    r And also presumed on a kind of familiarity.. My apologies. Having spent some time in the enlisted ranks of the military and in school athletics in ruder age, I could imagine some drill instructor or all powerful football coach being compelled to turn your name into some abusive nickname, as they did with everyone, or at least any where it struck their limited imaginations to do so. The first syllable of your last name would have been sufficient provocation for some of the guys I remember.

    I thought there were only two real people in the story. And that you were employing a kind of humorous unapologetic sarcasm about your own extremely healthy ego. Thus the kidding re swelled head. Whew! I got off on a tangent . Sorry about that. I enjoyed your poem . I will shut up now.

To read your poem I thought you were looking at yourself in the mirror the entire time. Therefore I did not expect a different ending.

A well composed poem and an interesting take on love and relationships.

    What can I say, I rarely know where I go when writing. My hands levitate over the keys with an original idea and by the end, even I am surprised. Thanks for the read. I hope it was interesting.

You could have skipped the sexual warning on this.

Great story and very cleverly laid out with a humorous slant!

I like that not only were you admiring yourself, but then became jealous of yourself, reinforcing the first stanza where you claimed great looks.

Well done! Bravo!

    Could have, would have, should have, I felt it was safer to warn the pure in heart, just in case. Thanks.

This is a Love Writing prompt entry entitled,
"Who Loves Me is Much As I Do"
Well written rich in Theme and Imagery.
It also, read well and Flowed well with no Grammar Issues.
...

"A reflection speaks a thousand words"
But in this case, there's a jealousy factor until finally it ends with the switch of a light.
Good luck your contest entry.

I kind of felt sorry for the guy who got left in the dark! Couldn't he go off with that pretty woman next to him?
Good job with the imagery and creativity with the mirror.

    Hmm. That is a wonderful point missed by the author. Well done, and yet he was suggesting a threesome, and may not have thought of it himself.

I can think of many ways your man could escape from behind the glass. However, I agree it is best to bind him there. He would indeed be well-placed to wreck, or at least severely disrupt, your life. I enjoyed your inspiring poem very much. kay

A fun write and some men do love themselves a little too much me-thinks. As long as they appreciate the lady in their life and they are attentive and kind then we forgive them for being vain, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

    When men are/were young, many felt the world revolved around them until a woman came along and had them reverse their thinking seeing how they would eventually become the astronaut in orbit.
