Notes About The Poem

Written August 30, 2023
For Contest “Would You Love Me If I Wasn't A Poet?”
Sponsor, Silent One

Would You Love Me If -

You are my husband,
and I am your wife.
You are a reader;
for me, writing's rife.

Supportive you are!
My poetry stems
a pleasure for you
to read my word gems.

My writes are not done
till you critique each;
you seem to enjoy
my inspiring reach.

Now, this has become
a shared time of cheers
we look forward to;
have done so for years!

My worry is that
my keenness will drop;
will you love me still
if my poems stop?

Would you love me if
a poet, I'm not;
leave a hollow space
in your reading slot?

Ink Empress August 31, 2023 at 2:04 PM Its such a blessing to have a partner or husband that would be a true reader and supporter of our poems. I really love how you’ve written for this inspiring prompt. Especially that ending is so profound. “ would you love me if a poet im not” so poetic you are. Exquisite rhymes too. Wishing you all the best for the contest
