My Life (post divorce and empty nest) in Sonnets

Original Contemporary Poetry by author, Jean Parr
“Submit or Commit”
Okay ladies, please chime in
How many of you are stuck in exclusive relationships?
Some of you might think this is a win-win
Others may view this as companionship
I must disagree
Early on it's okay, but can become a death knell
Honestly, there is no guarantee
Without commitment, we are left in a kind of hell
Men are scared and willing to casually date
While women are secretly planning their lives
Men have no reason to commit when it's not commanded by his mate
Women are insecure and don't know how to survive
Men won't commit
Women will submit
