An Ideal Husband

Who and/or what is your ideal or husband?

Tell me in a poem.

Rules
#1 No adult material.

#2 No chat lingo or bizarre spelling, text effects, or anything of that nature (includes writing in all caps).

#3 It must fit the topic. It must obviously be about what your ideal husband is like. That is the theme of the poem. Don't enter something about your ideal lover, or describing someone you like. That's not it. You are to lay out what your ideal husband is like in the form of a poem!

#4 If you're a guy and want to write a poem from a woman's perspective, fine. But no men describing THEIR ideal husband. Likewise no women entering about how there's no such thing as an ideal husband. Not what I'm looking for. You will be booted out.


I prefer rhyme and meter (together), but free verse is allowed in this particular contest. I have given you fair warning.

You may enter as many times as you like.

Points may be added depending on the number and quality of entries.

    Thank you so much ...

    for hosting this contest ... It made me think. And I realized I want nothing else in a man than to be seen for the simple woman I am ... and cherished as such.

    Thank you so much for the Gold. It let me feel that we are connected in shared sentiments ... How good a feeling ...

    Congratulations to Damsel and Dozenglassroses for their Silver and Bronze, and for all who entered.

    Love
    Myra
