Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is married love: the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly.
Today’s poem is a bit of advice to a husband who finds his aging wife unappealing.
I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .
Yours,
Nick Gordon
Next time you find your wife unappealing,
Breasts hanging like sandbags from her chest,
A little bald spot in the center of her head,
Back just beginning to hump between her shoulder blades,
Wrinkled flesh like a half-deflated balloon around her thighs,
Look at yourself in the mirror.
