Premiere Contest WinnerGuy Advice To a Friend

You tried to win her over
with dark chocolate and daisies
Passion on beds of clover
always works with the ladies

So why her indiscretions
She revealed it with a sigh
You didn't ask the right questions 
the rule book doesn't apply

See beneath all that glitters
her cool choreographed style
It's not hidden in twitters
try looking beyond her smile

Her love you cannot purchase
She can sense if you are fake
Do not play on the surface
dive down deep into her lake

Once she's truly discovered
surely passions will run deep
The depths of her uncovered
whispered secrets you must keep

She'll give you what you wish for
there is magic in her soul
If you just reveal your core
together you will be whole

Don't ever try to change her
that person she'll never be
If you try, she'll leave for sure
for that girl needs to be free!

Now I'm the one to be impressed, Richard. A brilliant poem with sage advice.. the way to a woman's heart is through her soul - so yes, 'Do not play on the surface - dive down into her lake!'.. Your poem is beautifully expressed; words of wisdom born of an insightful and responsive heart. Belated congrats on your wonderful trophy win. ~Susan

Despite impressive poem quality, after reading comments I must, have to, shout "WOMEN ARE NOT ALL THE SAME, MEN ARE NOT ALL THE SAME." I have a high tolerance for differences, but apparently, I have none for sameness. Sorry to be inappropriate at your congratulations party, I did try very hard to behave. Also, I seem to be the only one who went to the gutter after reading 'dive down deep in her lake'- just happily jumped on in. Oh Tim, Tim was already laying in there! Curtsy, exit stage right

I have never met two women who are the same and that is a good thing. I enjoyed your provocative comment CayCay.

"dive down deep into her lake" yes, and search for her hidden treasures, this is what makes passion come alive. Very good advice to the men, Rick.
