Rhapsody In Blue
(Yes, title is from Gershwin's, "Rhapsody in Blue"
What is this thing, called, rhapsody, anyway!
A feeling of intense pleasure, happiness or joy.
I've noticed some here think it's only when you h
ave a husband,...l.lthen can you only enjoy?
That and only that, makes your heart sway?
Bragging on having a husband like a Mercedes-Benz?
There are tons of widows and widowers here!
Or are you so lost in a gold ring and husband near?
Husbands do die, and then from whence will come your
happiness and cheer.
On getting a new one to fill your forlorn poetic landscape,
On owning his masculine gear?
On being a new bride again with another cake?
This is so droll, boring and hum-de-dum.
If you cannot be happy alone, then I am sorry for you!
Completed beings,need not be married to experience
pleasure.
Nor muck about finding a man of their own to treasure.
Fulfilled beings does not mean, "two.".
~~IT MEANS YOU ARE HAPPY WITH BEING YOU~~
If,of yourself, happiness you cannot create,
My deepest condolences, if that be your sorrow!
That you can only find happiness and love if you have a
husband tomorrow.
So do not insult poets who intentionally have no mate.
They too love life~ but prefer personal freedom's gate!

I could not find categories for this so I chose inspiration.
Respecting others, is another.
