Happy Birthday Greetings!
A thoughtful poem that raises important questions one should consider in relationships. Such questions illustrate the double standard between men and women, as the men expect to be waited on hand and foot when they get home, even when the woman has a job of her own. And men often have attitudes of arrogance and unrealistic expectations for the way a woman should behave, look or speak.
Your free verse flows well and is easy to read. The formatting is attractive. Perhaps a line count would be a good idea just out of habit.
I don’t usually have much to criticize about poetry, especially free verse. Since I dislike measuring meter and counting syllables, I’m hardly qualified to offer advice on structure or form. As long as it expresses sincere feelings, it counts. I view poetry as a highly subjective vehicle to say things which can’t always be expressed easily in cold hard prose.
