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.

I’m with you dearest Tim I hate death, the look of it, the feelings it brings the unfairness, I was watching a nature program about a grizzly cub and it’s mom she led him high into the snowy mountains but the incline was too steep for the cub he tried so many times to follow her just to land on the rocks below to die it made me cry it was unfair… great write ❤️

This is deep.
Death is unfair and painful for loved ones. It absolutely feels unfinished.
Great perspective Tim.

Powerfully penned, Tim. Another great write my friend. We all fear death. Appreciate you.

This feels tender in its grief. The simplicity makes the hurt more real.

Wow my friend! This is a punchy and powerful view of death. Yes the unfinished business both between people and creatively that death leaves incomplete. If only we could have more time to finish our lives and do the things we set out to. And then there are the interpersonal relationships with unfinished business. Old wounded things that were never healed or forgiven between people. I know so well what your poem speaks of. You take the most important thing in life death and put it into a concise form that explores the crucial facets of death with great poetry.
