Haha this is a good one and I like how you end it with the old saying.

dearest Tim I hate women like that money grubbers trading their looks for cash prostitutes great write ❤️

Powerfully penned, Tim. Another excellent write that speaks some truth my friend. Some marriages are more like business arrangements these days. Cold and transactional it would seem. Just my two cents brother. Amazing read as always. Appreciate you.

Tim you paint the scene and the sultry women with masterful brush strokes of description. This took me right into the scene so that I could see everything and the storytelling here is excellent. A really great poem that puts me right there and the slice of life here is tantalizing. Our former local coroner married a young lady who had a tryst with the pool boy and the coroner left his wife. As a woman told me he should have known at his age why she married him in the first place for his money. Loved this so much.

Once a pirate always a pirate no mater what happens. Nice:)

I had a dream that you wrote an incredible review of this piece, the nicest I’ve ever received from such an astute and credentialed writer and teacher as yourself.

Then I awoke to find it was not a dream after all. The review was still here. I have to say I am stunned, Richard. Truly, actually stunned. Thank you.

Oh, and I clicked the link you provided and read the first two pieces, and I must say, “Wow! Now THAT’S talent. I especially liked, “Rita Lee.” My kind of gal!

Thank you, Richard.

I think I had a cap’n like that once. A right salty tale, Daddy-O!

Go your own way Fia

This portrays power and the ability to choose on her own terms. A devilish poem, Fia, 🙂

Passionately penned, Fia. Another excellent write as always my friend. Amazing read. Appreciate you, Cuz.
