    What She Said

    And then she said,  after pretending to be a porn   actress on a third-hand hotel mattress,  “I like your poetry, but hate your poems”    And then she said  like a bride spitting through her veil  “I take love where I find it”    No one viewed my heart’s removal van  driving baggage towards lighthouse-lights...

    • 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.
