Notes About The Poem

 

 

The Real Deal

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” 
? Maya Angelou

Some guys are bold; they’ll court you with great zeal,
while timid guys might not know what to do.
Some men will treat you to a fancy meal,
bring roses or boxed chocolates to you.
And some will let their darker side show through!

Although a man can say and do things right,
he isn’t necessarily the real deal!
But there is one you’ll want to kiss all night.
With ring in hand, upon one knee he’ll kneel -
the one who knew the way to make you feel!

Robert Warlov October 23, 2016 at 6:02 PM Only real gentlemen will do. Civility foundational, nobility transcends. Victoria made proud

Tim Smith October 23, 2016 at 10:28 AM Yes the one who makes you feel is the right choice.

Afolabi Muideen October 23, 2016 at 5:27 AM Every person has someone who is really made to be with, however, to me happiness is matter most in a relationship, in a matrimony. Thanks for posting..........A.M.

Carolyn Devonshire October 23, 2016 at 3:55 AM Indeed, it's the way people make us feel that draws us to them. And surely there are those who hide their darker sides, Andrea, but I have to believe there is someone out there for each of us. An excellent poem! Wishing you success in the contest. Hugs for you!
