Hi Karen,
I don't know a couplet from a singlet. Poetry isn't something that I'm familiar with. I follow a few poets on here, but prefer stories. That being said, there are a lot of poets on this site. Usually poems are faster to read, but I seldom get the gist of the poem, with the exception a few really great poets. Thanks for sharing gal. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving day with your family.
Blessings,
Tom

Blinds are kind of passe' now. I agree pretty much everyone would identify any given author...p!us there's that small matter of the "blind" poem being posted in our portfolio!

(Your point is well taken)

Great abbreviated couplets! It takes skill to convey so much in two word lines!

(He is definitely not a keeper btw)

    As soon as I have some money I will serve him with papers. I have separated for two and a half years.
    Thanks for the read. Karen

    Oh! Why did I think you recently served him?

    Wishful thinking?

    ;)

    I was ready to serve him. I paid my money and everything. He moved without giving me notice even though I had checked with him. I am saving up money for a real divorce lawyer. No more do it yourself on the cheap stuff. Karen

You're right that there are some writers we know by style and content, like Bermy, and Dolly, and yours mostly have some good looking gal to intro the piece submitted.

Blind contest entries should be available to be posted as new posts as soon as the contest has been decided, none the less, what an excellent read, I really like the way the two characters have their say or thoughts, a wonderful couplet, very well written****kahpot

    I agree. Blind posts should go into the mailboxes once the contest is over. Thanks for the read. Karen

He does not seem to have any attractive attitude to welcome him in the first place. Could it be he changed over time. Please find out before the divorce papers. Hahahaha! Well done, dear.

    He is a selfish narcissist. He and he alone is the only person in the world that matters to him. Others should follow suit. I declined. :-) Thanks for the read.

The guy doesn't present himself very well. Doesn't sound like a fun guy. A divorce seems like a good choice, although he will not be a forgiving guy.

Brilliant job, Karen. I understand why you didn't enter this masterpiece in a blind contest, but it would have breached the top of the heap. I feel like they should add them to our friends' boxes after the contest is over.
God bless,
Steve

I haven't been here as long as some, but I believe I can recognize anyone's writings. I would recognize this as your writing easily. That'd not bd. What if Hemingway changed his style? Or Dickens? I expected a divorce or killing at the end.

    I can write many different ways, even not kill anyone, but folks seem to know it is me. It's the accent isn't it? Happy turkey day. Thanks for the read. Karen

    It's like cheap glass and fine crystal. You just know.

    That is the perfect way to put it. I had fun at my sisters. We played racko and Yahoo. I creamed 'em. I needed that. I am still in a very good mood. Did you eat some good stuff? Karen

    Lately, I can't eat so much. I ate part of a small piece of turkey and stuffing.

    I ate a little bit at their house, but they sent me home with leftovers. Karen

    II just can't eat much anymore. Lots of food tastes bad to me and I find myself vomiting often after meals.
reply by the author on 03-Dec-2024
    What do the doctors say? Do you brush your tongue when you brush your teeth? A lot of medicines can effect taste. I am so sorry for your latest problem. We love you here you know. karen

    I'm still eating enough to not worry. Years ago I had a gastric bypass so that may be affecting me now.

    Double up on the vitamins, get the gummies ones, easier to take.:-)

    I'm doing what I can. Now I may have to have a couple of biopsies. I'm postponing my decision for a month.

    You write of quiet sweet love in most of your things. You have a calm way of looking at things. I feel peace when I read you. You write well, I can guess it is you most of the time. Not a bad thing. Happy turkey day. Karen
