Abuse

When

A hollow man threatens

his wife, "I'll never give you

that'll set you right."

The purpose of he being a man

is forever lost never to return.

Who

Should engage in

doing such a thing;

calculating again and again

How?

Much money he

has spent

for her

not taking

into account

his personal

pleasure shop visits;

in spite of having

an intelligent woman

at home.

You're quite the idealist. You do a good job of getting your point across, but perhaps you could improve on your punctuation. Generally, I like your poetry.

One of the very well written pieces of work I have seen that potray the power of a woman in so many words. Very well written and strongly depicted. A man who does not respect a woman has no existence on this earth. The more the men understand this, the better this place will be to live in. Well done. Keep up the good work.

Anytime a man who is by nature the stronger of the physical two, decides to diminish himself by abusing a woman, he makes himself smaller, harder, more debased with each mean-spirited thing he says or does. This is a very good poem and an example of the things the man should have thought of before striking out at his most prized area of life. Very well said.
