A Good Man

Fair of face, long of limb.
Broad shoulders, waist trim.

Laugh out loud at my jokes.
Has the tenderest, sensitive stroke.

Likes music, loves to dance.
Not afraid to take a chance

on this broken heart of mine.
I hope then our lives entwine.

Just be gentle with your prize.
I will kiss your sleeping eyes.

Soul searching just for you.
When will one become two?

Tim Smith Date: 10/28/2016 2:22:00 PM Is that all it takes : ) Login to Reply Jean Murray Date: 10/28/2016 3:54:00 PM Yes Tim. Is it too much to ask??

Paloma P Date: 10/28/2016 2:59:00 AM Tall order Jean, does he have a brother? :) Login to Reply Paloma P Date: 10/28/2016 4:53:00 AM Oh I wish it were Jean, it's Audrey Hepburn, my heroine since I was a kid. If you could see me this early morn, sans sleep and make-up, you'd know better! :) Jean Murray Date: 10/28/2016 3:52:00 AM Once I find him, I will ask him Paloma. On second thoughts, if that is really you in that photo...maybe I won't...you might steal my sweetheart from me.

CayCay Jennings Date: 10/28/2016 12:09:00 AM Though, personally, I would remove the period (full stop) after 'chance' to make the next 2 lines a complete sentence, I am totally in love with your poem. I so LOVE brevity in poems when it is effective, on deliberate point and emotionally hard hitting - all of which this poem is. A great write, Jean - as yours usually are ... CayCay Login to Reply Jean Murray Date: 10/28/2016 11:21:00 AM Yes Miss! CayCay Jennings Date: 10/28/2016 10:26:00 AM I just saw your comment and ran straight here to fuss at you! You ARE one of the consistently best poets here. Don't make me come slap you, the ocean is too expensive of a challenge. OH MY GOSH, I just mind wandered to Paloma's comment - why did I never recognize Hepburn? I've always thought Paloma was slam beautiful. Ok, back to reprimanding you - humble is great, low 'talent' worth - unacceptable. Are we clear? Jean Murray Date: 10/28/2016 1:23:00 AM CayCay, you are most kind. I have acted on your sound advice. I do not posess the vocabulary to come up with the eloquent poems I envy here. CayCay Jennings Date: 10/28/2016 12:10:00 AM p.s. Great new picture

Just James Date: 10/27/2016 11:46:00 PM Wonderful work...from the heart...i have something similar up my sleeve...will post it soon! Login to Reply Jean Murray Date: 10/28/2016 1:20:00 AM Please don't post it. It would be too messy. Jean Murray Date: 10/28/2016 1:19:00 AM Your heart is up your sleeve James....really??......NEXT!!

Daniel Turner Date: 10/27/2016 9:53:00 PM You lost me with the trim waist. Lol I somehow have started to spread a little. I'm certain I could accommodate the rest of it. I'm only 10,000 miles away, Jean:) You deserve better than me, maybe your Prince Charming will find you. Login to Reply Jean Murray Date: 10/28/2016 11:22:00 AM Of course you may watch my Honeybun run CayCay. CayCay Jennings Date: 10/28/2016 10:28:00 AM Can we watch him run? Jean - you are so witty. Love your comment to James Roffey! Jean Murray Date: 10/28/2016 1:18:00 AM You could be like Tom Hanks in that film and start running across America to me Daniel. That would sort out the waistline.

Ilene Bauer Date: 10/27/2016 5:04:00 PM oh, i hope this good man realizes what a good woman you are, jean! i'm rooting for this to work out. great poem! Login to Reply Jean Murray Date: 10/28/2016 1:16:00 AM Thank you Ilene.
