My love, she says

 

My love, she says.

Beloved, she chants.

To me, the reddening day paints only distress -

The setting sun’s rays pour the red of my rage.

Just one more day

And I’ll be away,

Saved from this maddening pleading.

 

Mampho

GREAT! And funny – although I do not suppose it is meant to be, but it paints a sit-com picture of marital frustration. Your poem is a warning to all nagging wives and girlfriends! (And parents?) No wonder Solomon wrote (somewhere in the Book of Proverbs in the Bible) that it is better to live on the rof of your house than inside with a nagging wife!

I liked this.
I like the way the title misleads- I expected a love poem!
I am sure it captures the irritation of many a man
