Comment from duchessofdrumborg

Excellent

"She Gets Her Point Across", is short, succinct and very much to the point. This talented poet's work was a delight to both read and review. You KEEP WRITING and I'll KEEP READING. To me, this is a six, but I only have fives left. I look forward to seeing your next post.

A happy wife equals a happy life, It looks like this woman would be a hand full but fun, nonetheless. This poem is fun to read and imagine. Don and Vicki.

A very well-written 5-7-5 poem about the boss of the house. She doesn't even have to open her mouth her eyes say everything she wants to say in a moment and her hand signs is clear as daylight no misunderstandings there.

Hello Sandra. You're absolutely right, she is the boss of this house and has been for 51 years now.

Believe me, I know which side my bread is buttered on. I'm not only an expert on sign language, I'm also an expert on "face language." (ha)

Have a wonderful weekend Sandra...Bill

Comment from countess gram

Good

This is a funny poem to me because I have a friend that does the exact same thing. The poem flows well and the structure is sound. It also creates strong images which is helped along by the artwork . Well done!!

Poor guy. Surely she can say the words you need to hear in other ways than this. It is hard to think that you have a wife that reacts like this. I guess I should appreciate my husband more. He never has done this to me nor have I done it to him.

Thank you for your review.

This poem is written only for fun/humor. My wife certainly doesn't do this.

You only gave this contest entry a four star rating, which means it needs improvement. Could you please suggest how I could have made this better in order to get a higher rating.

As I said, the name of this contest is "write a Humorous 5-7-5" only written in fun/humor. What are your suggestions please in order to make only the poem better, and not the subject. Thank you.

reply by Carolyn Reaves on 08-Nov-2018

I'm glad she doesn't do this, but I am sure there are some that do. It just didn't seem humorous, even though I can tell you are a great writer. Maybe give it a different title - or maybe I am just wrong.

Thank you, Carolyn, for your honesty and for the compliment. Have a nice day my friend.
