A Single Man's Want Ad.

A Poem by Heath Payton
"

Looking for your perfect person.

"

 

The value of a man is a question with no answer.
Most want tall dark and handsome and a very good dancer.
Women are attracted by nature to many different things.
Some want smart and funny others want money and rings.
But at the end of the day what truly will last.
Is a man that will fight for the future and burry the past.
Now I am not perfect and lord knows that I try.
But I will never give up till the day that we die.
Love I will give to the point that it’s smothering.
Answers to keep it alive is what I am uncovering.
Yes I have baggage about the size of your carry on tote.
So here are my stats like getting an auto insurance quote.
 
5’7 and Skinny Blue Eyes and Brown Hair.
Trying to live my life without a worry or care.
In search of the one to give my last name.
I am single again that is the reason I came.
Now money and cars I am not able to give.
I’ve been married, Divorced, and have a 10yr. kid.
 
So a relationship with me what is it truly worth?
A man willing to make you a priority on heaven and earth.
Standing by your side during sickness or health.
Finding ways for us to grow with little money or wealth.
I will not promise any fights, that will be part of the deal.
But I will listen at all times and tell you exactly how I feel.
 
So LADY’S please think about what values are important to you.

Because out of the good men thats left, I am one of the few.

Very interesting little write here. I must say it is some what cute and comical but being on the other end of this uhh application I suppose I hate it lmao! No very good i am so proud of you for expressing your feelings so openly its about time! The not so funny thing is that I know every word you have written is true. You are one of the last few and this um well app is so very much in every way you.

I have to say.. that is quite a vent! I am chuckling because it is such an honest one. I see humor in the write.. and a bit of a sarcastic tone to boot. :) But it is true... people have different ideas of what true happiness is. :) A very good want ad... very creative!

That was absolutely amazing.
This is the most original poem I've read.

I urge you to place your poem in a contest. I'm quite confident you'll do great!
The title attracted me which drew me to your poem. I read this to my friend, and she was speechless.

The flow is beautiful, the rhyming is amazing, it's original. I can feel strong emotions, and a connection to this poem, and you.

Keep up the amazing work! ;D. You vent beautifully.
