Could you make suggestions for improvement in this poem?
The Wrong Answer
Disgusted, she flipped me the feather
and said I wasn't worth the whole bird
she knew she could always do better
she walked away not saying a word
What I'd done, was it really that wrong?
What'd you do if you were in my place?
I wanted to try to get along
she wanted never to see my face
Would a dozen roses make things right?
Should I try to explain my own side?
I knew I didn't want a big fight
She wasn't going to let me slide
if only I could realize
I needed to... learn to live alone

Finger, oops I mean feather flipped, got my attention right away. I liked the levity.

With a look of disgust, she flipped me the feather
and said I wasn't worth the whole bird
she must've known she could do much better
as she walked away without a word
What I had done- was it really that wrong?
Any man would do the same in my place.
I always tried hard to keep getting along
Now she winces at the sight of my face
Would a dozen red roses make it right again?
Should I try to explain my side?
I didn't want to start a fight I couldn't win...
... but she wasn't going to let it slide.

This was a very enjoyable though sad poem, and I
do not see any need for improvement! Great, as is.
I love how you ended it, with a suggestive realization!
This made me both laugh and cry together, great job!

I have no suggestions for improvement of your poem Andy, it reads pretty good just as it is. As for the wrong answer, I'm not sure an apology would have made any difference. Pleased to get the chance to read this again.

I liked this the first time and I wanted to mention how much I liked the feather joke. Thanks for the chance to praise it again.
