Preterition

He wanted my number and name. I saw on his finger a ring. I wouldn’t be playing his game. He wanted my number and name. I said to him (when the drinks came) I wasn’t the type for a fling. He wanted my number and name. I saw on his finger a ring! Written May 14, 2016 For the Preterition Contest of Sara Kendrick

I know this man - saw him at a bar once years ago and I'm so glad you avoided him. Every female should relate to this one. Such a good idea, Andrea - it should do well as it is a universal occurence ... CayCay

Hi Andrea, I see this didn't actually happen. Nevertheless it was a well written piece that many could relate too. Excellent job. Good luck in the contest.7 - Alexis

By the way, folks, this poem is totally made up. I have been only to a few bars in my lifetime and it was with hubbie and just to listen to kareoke or something. I don't even drink!!!

Is this a true story or a made up situation. After some drinks you might not have seen his ring! What is Pretertion? Went to a good poetry reading in Saugerties. They paid for my room - I sold a few chapbooks and they paid for a nice breakfast buffet! Now I am back on the Lower East Side and heard some terrible sounding rap music this morning. Well - I guess I will write something today. Peace & Love Matthew Anish
