I wish I had a six. Not just for the poem but for the confession as well. This was fun and playful in content. Hope you enjoyed your few hours of ignorant bliss. Wonderful poem. Gretchen

Thanks so much Gretchen. You are always so sweet and I appreciate your lovely review and comments. He told me after he admitted it that he wished he had kept that part to himself. But I know I would have caught him, because he always gets a funny look on his face, when he tells a little white lie. LOL! Thanks again my dear friend.
Comment from Terry Broxson
What a hoot! This is a great entry for the sonnet contest. Good luck. Poor Glen, he should have said, "Yes, Dear, I am delighted you love it!" Good job Mystery Writer. Terry.

LOL, by the way Mystery writer, that football thing I am sending is not getting there in time for this Sundays game. So you all get to enjoy it for another game
-
That's ok, as I am just so tickled that you thought of me in the first place. Besides it makes the fun last that much longer. I will have fun watching that game, because I don't know if I told you, but my best friend here is first cousin to #87 that they call the hawk. Anyway he is from Detroit Lions and just got traded to the Vikings. Our friends are ecstatic over this and now as her best friend of 40 years, guess who will get treated to many Vikings games, complements from receiver the hawk himself.
Not bragging, but the trade just happened a couple weeks ago, so it is pretty exciting. But what I look forward to the most is what one of my dearest friend has sent me. I am excited!! Also for the game Sunday. I think the Vikes may have their butts handed to them on a Texas size gurney. Lol

You have heard that joke from around the time we were kids, about "everything's BIG in Texas?"

Vikes look pretty tough. Terry.
Comment from Begin Again
Regardless, it gave you a warm fuzzy feeling for the day; something every person likes to have now and then to life their sports. Feeling that special love is the best/// for me, I miss my husband's laughter. He always put a smile on my face and a romantic warmth in my heart. Well done!
Hugs, Carol

Comment from Frank Malley
If what starts as a love poem ends in an ironic, unromantic, humorous twist, it doesn't make sense to write the poem to rival Shakespeare or Shelley. And it works that this poem has the childish love poem lilt of a Hallmark card; the surprise between premise and outcome probably works better when innocence, and not sophistication, encounters reality.
In actuality, I don't think a car doing a u-turn in a driveway covered in snow could make this design, but occasionally events have unexpected outcomes, and plus, who cares? We get the joke.

Awe Frank, as always you are one step ahead of me. With a strict syllable count and meter, I was limited to how I phrased this, but it obviously could not have been from one car. I think I have a secret admirer. Where were you that morning??? Hahaha! Thanks for the kind review and comments my fun friend.
Comment from Pam Lonsdale
Before I even read the poem I wondered how he managed to do that with a car, because you can see the tracks coming from the road into the driveway. That is really something that a "turnaround" made such perfect hearts!
Alas, many of us are married to men who love us but haven't a clue when it comes to romance (me included). But your sonnet is beautifully written, and very romantic if one does not read your author's notes, lol! The font you used matches the feeling of the moment.
Good luck with the contest - you did a great job.

Comment from Zue65
That was really funny. I enjoyed the wit and humor of the poet and was able to capture effectively in those poetic lines. To convey a message well to the readers despite the limited medium of poetry is indicative of the gift of the poet. Thanks for sharing.

What a great prompt, and how super that your poem is based in a real event- even though it wasn't what you thought. A wonderful sonnet, telling a humorous story. Best wishes for your original and creative entry.

Comment from lyenochka
Enjoyed your fun sonnet and it's playful because with the picture, the narrator saw a romantic sign given by her husband in the driveway. In the third stanza where a sonnet typically makes a switch, you show us that was a misunderstanding. Apparently, a turning car can leave hearts in the driveway! Lol. Best wishes in the contest!

Comment from Theodore McDowell
A sonnet with a humorous and sudden twist. You pulled the rug out from under me. Well done and well-crafted. Maybe your husband learned a little from the mistake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment from susand3022
Hahahahaha! I absolutely LOVE this poem, Author!
Isn't it just like us women to see what we want to see, that the man we adore, has done something special just for us... something sweet. Then we find out it was all in our heads. He wouldn't know sweet if it bit him in the butt. He wouldn't know how to do something special if special presented itself to him with a sledgehammer over the head! Men turn around in the driveway. They don't make us interlocking hearts, no matter how much we want them to.
