"JULY 2022 REVIEWS" It rather sounds like there won't be anyone left to marry! This poem showed up on random reads and I'm glad it did. When I first read the title and brief description, I thought it would be about how to avoid these sins yourself. It came as a surprise when I started reading and found it to be the advice of a seasoned woman to a prospective bride! The layout and verse structure work well for your poem. It sounds like one of those old rhymes. At first I was going to comment on how the poem judges people by external appearance, but then I saw that that's part of the style and perhaps the intention. (To showcase how people judge others.) My suggestion would be to add another verse. You've mentioned whom the young lady should NOT marry in some detail. How about mentioning, now, the qualities she SHOULD look for in a young man, and which young man she should pick? That would probably round the poem off nicely. Thank you for sharing this one! Write On! Match Make On! My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
