Perhaps I should have added that it seemed what they were promising was more than either of them could deliver should the circumstances shown in the poem come to pass â his going to the ends of the earth and doing the most despicable things, or his cruelties and abuses, or hers. I know few women who seem able to keep their promise of âFor better or worseâ if he does those things and keeps doing them. My parents made it together for 55 years until death parted them, but neither of them faced great infidelity or abuse. Their marriage and yours are love as it should be.
You are right! As far as this poem goes. But it can be done if you are marrying for all the right reasons, and sometimes that's not enough. Believe me It's not easy, because once you get married seem like the devil put all kind of temptation around you. And being a man it's very hard, but I thank the Lord I never messed around on my wife. The family that prays together stays together. I can only speak for myself.

Of course you'd ask that. But of course you also think it's cool to write a poem called "Impenetrable Pistachio" and regularly use the word "doodie" instead of shit.
"Larry Summers, the president of Harvard, suggested the other day that innate differences between the sexes might help explain why relatively few women become professional scientists or engineers. For this, he has been denouncedâmetaphorically, of courseâas a Neanderthal. Alumni are withholding donations. Professors are demanding apologies. Some want him fired."

well, I don't believe in the Devil or worship..... anything at all. But I do have my moments when, to me, it seems he sets the mood grandly.
Sorry- hit a 6 by accident--I give you a ten!
Good poem.
Not lovin' this one as much. Not too bad, but doesn't really stand out.
This one I likes.
This should be under acrostic. No offense, but I'm not lovin' this one...
Spelling and grammar. Need to fix deez things, yo.
Reminds me of that Jimmy Eats World song....Not bad, but you could stand to put a little more thought into it. Seems more like just emotion.
I've never understood the whole Devil worship thing. If you believe in that whole fairy tale about God and the Devil, why would you choose to worship the one thats going to make you suffer forever...must be a masochist. Anyway, some of the lines aren't bad, the subject notwithstanding.
the leaving lines are too close together, I think. Maybe you were going for a repetition thing there, but I think it would work better if you changed one of the leavings to something else.
She's waiting for October. I'd love to hear what you think it's about.
It isn't better to do more per se. But it is better to at least have the option of doing more. A strong man is not compelled to use his strength inappropriately. But a weakling is compelled to be weak inappropriately. Strength is therefore better than weakness, as any avid stat-based RPGer will tell you.
But why is it better to do more?
Being stronger is better, because a strong thing can do all the things a weak thing can do, plus a bit more. Ditto being smarter. That's why vegetarians will always be worse than normals, because normals are capable of eating VEGETABLES AND MEAT, vegetarians can only eat VEGETABLES :(
