My Saturday Centus offering for our 60th week:
i may have to dear john
you before you are gone
arriving as you did
with your heart hidden
inside a business plan
a way for us to be
wealthy in our old age
rich is good my darling
but kisses sweet and soft
outweigh your 401k
it is your heart I want
your hand enclosing mine
as we walk to market

Ahh, holding out for love! You are a romantic at heart.
Me, I'd settle for companionship AND the money...heheheheh
Now I wonder what poem I'd write in contrast to yours?
Very romantic!
John needs to make an investment in love!

Outstanding Job !
Having money already and asking her man for romance and intimacy makes that lady one smart cookie and truly in love...love it !!!
Damn fine cj!! So much revealed about her...or would that be you? Peace and blessings
perfectly charming
This is soooo excellent, CJ! We have to train men to realize just what is important to us!!!!
I love the message here and I especially like the first line: "I might have to Dear John you."
PS I don't mind if you send him over here, though.
Nice job, CJ!

interesting ... and looking for romance after the finances are taken care of ... so clever!
aaahhh, true love. I loved it.
This is delightful! Unique and says a mouthful in only a few lines.
Ahh, very beautiful. I love it.
Aw, such a sweet and romantic poem! Beautiful job, CJ!
I like the fact that you have made a verb out of "dear john". Very clever.
Lovely poem! There is so much about the conflict between male and female packed into these lines.
Well done!
Best wishes,
Anna

Well crafted, CJ. And I just like the feel of it.
=)
I like your priorities. If only the rest of the world felt that way! Love the way you used the prompt. laurie
Ah...a very clever take, C.J.! Money's little good without romance backing it up, though it's lovely when we can have both...LOL!
Is it based on Micheal, if I can ask...I somehow feel too inexperienced on respond those posts though I read them occasionally.
Realistic and deep ...well written.
Nice romantic love angle given. :)
Oh. I love Irishoma's comment. And I loved this tender little emotion caputured in 60 words. Money is always nice to have, but without the tenderness our hearts quickly become bankrupt!
Lovel.
I love, love, love this poem
