Improved I met a pretty girl, she said she loved me. So we married, and ever since she tried to change me. The first thing she did was to stop my smoking. That wasn’t too bad, but then she stopped my drinking. She taught me how to dress very well and to enjoy the Finer Arts. She taught me gourmet cooking and how to invest in the Stock Market. After all these years, I’m not bitter, I hope that you can see. Now that I’m so improved, She isn’t good enough for me. |

This is sad but rewarding, because nothing takes the pain away like a good dividend.  Kathleen |

Melton I liked this one. It seemed to tell the simple truth about love, marriage, and divorce in this day and age. Excellently penned my friend. Garfield |

Melton - this is great! I like the tone, and the style... this is my kind of freeverse - almost hear a beat to it. Well done... K"He looked across the silky surface of the Severn... it was a famously difficult river with fierce tides..." From Jack Maggs |

Mel~ really liked the flow of this. and i also liked the joking nature of it. im glad you met someone who changed you for the better and vice versa. in a ever changing world its so nice to know that even if we change there are people who will still always love us for US. take care. amy "The head learns knew things, but the heart forever more practices old experiences" |
