well, I can sure relate to this short poem which says a whale of a lot in a few short syllables.
You really encapsulated the origins of conflict. Wonder why this happens so often?

Good question! I experienced it twice this week, so it came to my mind to write of it. Thanks so much.

That last word is heard
and keeps ringing its tone
A lot of hurt could be healed
If that famous last word
Ended with the first word
of an argument

Well done with your entry, Buck

Ah-ha interesting angle on the male female relationship - I wonder if that is indeed true of the female of the species - and what an interesting pic

Absolutely great photo for this poem - no doubt in my mind what is going on here - seems that too many of us either do, or know, how this feels. Good luck in the contest...AT=/

Your 1-9-1 is set up very well to deliver its message and end with "the last word". The photo is choice of the long-suffering husband being berated by the shrew.

When you find a good answer, work it into poetry. This is one of my favorite questions next to "Why do I have to do all the dirty work?" All of my favorite questions start with "Why".
Terrific poem.

It is forever a struggle to have your better half realize and understand that you too have a voice that needs to be heard as well.

Very good and very clever. Not an easy prompt to attempt but this is well done. I like the picture - I always think a silhouette leaves things to the reader's imagination. Good Luck. Kind regards Dorothy
