How to keep a female poet
Advice to a partner of a female poet
(based on Sue Allen's observation)

It is advised, in order to keep your poet:

Praise the ability of art and translation
of feelings into words,
even if you have no idea of what
she is 'banging' on about!

Remember, she is after
understanding and appreciation,
not a rival, nor a man
who will ' sort it all out '!
