Review: The Reply

 

How well mannered. They’ve been brought up ‘proper’ haven’t they?

‘The reply’ poem starts with politeness, gratitude, and the sweet comment of ‘cute’. Always a good sign to an ‘official’ beginning of a long-term commitment of a relationship even if the couple have been together for a million years or so. (which is what it could be, I suspect)

The proposal is reciprocated in the same nonchalant fashion, clearly without the need to get down on any knee or to compromise any other body part in the process! Being comfy and staying put is what I’m seeing here. Very wise and cool, no?

Should they even be getting married if they are that comfortable with each other?

BUT ‘she’ (I’m guesing it’s a she) wants that ring! From what I know, ladies of all generations do like a bit of jewellery for various aesthetic, emotional, and well-being reasons. It must be important for to her to have ’that’ ring though. What does she want to say to the world or to a few close loved ones with that symbol of devotion?

Her request has been acknowledged and granted.

Was she expecting any other romantic gestures?

No, I don’t think so! The ring is all she’s demanding.

They seem like the sort of couple that would indeed get married, yes, to each other, sure, within the same year, of course!

BUT potentially on different dates as it would suit them more to do so as I detect they are living ‘busy with work’ and other life commitments. Signing the marital paperwork on days that are convenient, even if it means on separate dates, is a very practical step to make.

They’ll get there in the end won’t they?

Oh, how I laugh and almost cry with with sadness (but not much) as I’m willing for there to be a bit of romance here and there, along with some passion when the lights go off… or at least dimmed a bit to create a ‘mood’ that’s not down to a dodgy flickering lightbulb.

That’s no mood enhancer, unless that of a haunted house is your thing?! (I won’t go there, horses for courses and all that!)

It doesn’t take me long to get to the punch line. in this short poem

The ring is here! hurrah!

‘I will love you!’ Phew, he’s said it

She’s got what she wanted for whatever the reason is.

As a reader, I can only guess. For the sake of… The parents? The children? The gossiping folk or even the goldfish? Bonkers, I know but anything can happen with lot’s of digital distractions of the now-a-days. I do hope the couple go on to cement a loving and solid union and I wish them well.

I think they’re both cute in their own ways.

I’m curious to know what’s going to happen next. I hope it lasts.

Perhaps it’s a sign and a woeful sigh of the times of how fast paced and ‘bullet pointed’  digital life that most lead. An adorable little read where ‘love’ is the answer.
