We thought he has everything, but then…

The height, the charm, the looks
The gait, the swagger, the hooks
The ride, the sounds, the wheels
The smile, the wink, the shrills
The grades, the awards, the sports
The cheerers, the swooners, the cohorts
The hangers-on, the critics, the fans
The music, the poetry, the bands
All of these he’s grabbed
But amidst all of the garb
no fun being a hearthrob
for I have the one he loved

    That’s right!!! It takes more than flashy looks to get the girls. I wrote a poem about the same theme..coming soon near you. Lol

  • Joni Keith on Jan 16, 2009

    This poem has a great flow to it. I like the subject, as well.

  • spiritwalker on Jan 16, 2009

    Great poem! Hope it is autobiographical. It seems right that the romantic poet should get the girl.

    Would she be called a “trophy wife”? :-) nicely done

  • rutherfranc on Mar 17, 2009

    saved her from that fate actually, BWM..

  • DA Cournean on Mar 17, 2009

    Very nice

  • Tammy Wyrick on Mar 17, 2009

    Very rythematic. (Is that a word?) Your are right that one on the outside seems to have it all, but not having anything inside will make you lose the girl. Inner beauty is the most flashiest of them all.

  • C. S. Robins on Mar 17, 2009

    I had to read this poem a second time to get it; I like that. Very nice

  • Kimberly Moore on Mar 18, 2009

  • Alina Beck on Mar 18, 2009

    Great – I loved this. Simple yet profound all at once!

  • Denise Kawaii on Mar 22, 2009

    Great poem, I like the build up to the end when we discover that something is missing from his life.
