You must, must, must read Ambrose Beirce!. He was a priest, who wrote in the early 1900's!. His books are classics!.*
You are very clever and very witty, and you really have a great knack!.!.!. I can't think of a better word!.
It's a wit, like Wilde's, or Ogden Nash's or Dorothy Parker's; it's a humorously cynical look at things, and it works!. It's not really poetry, but so what!? I think you could make it more a poem with little changes in form!. I'd like to see that!. It would take so little!. For example, instead of "Love vs Marriage," which is kinda clinical, I would find the tongue-in-cheek title of "Love and Marriage" to be more witty, and then to continue from there, something like Love:!.!.!.!., then Marriage!.!.!.!., instead of each one having to be Love Is, and marriage is!. Do you see the difference!. Make it more off the cuff, more casual; we get the depth from the words, so I think it makes the poem sophisticated to be casual in the form!. ("The Bronx!. No thonx!." that kind of feel, clean, simple, but don't change a word of the text, just how you put it!.!.!.!.)
I love the specifics of the comparisons, the sensory reality of them!. You know how to show us what a bad marriage looks and feels like to the kid, and what love is professed to be (equally ludicrous in the sentimental and deliberately cliche descriptions you choose), and that's wonderful!.
And you're authentic!. What you say resonates!. No one doubts what you see love is glamourized as being, nor can one doubt, for a second, what you experienced, and the way you counterposed them is perfect, well, that you counterposed them is perfect; the way, form take that tiny adjustment!.
I think this is great, and for those who don't agree, I must say, poetry is the experiences and thoughts of that particular person!. She isn't claiming to speak for the world!. I don't get that sense at all!. I like how personal it is!.
Good job!.
And, (imho) don't say on what it's based!. Let it speak for itself!. It's nobody's business!. (Besides, it's so specific, we know you knew it firsthand!)
