In the minds
of perverse old men
women grow into stories.

The real ones
emerge out of our
theoretical fog.

They may have to slap us
to gain their lives.

I am not expereinced with critique but

First I like this poem............ men are all guilty of thinking about other women and getting a nudge into reality from our companions. Nice approach you have used here

Only one thing ..........

"In the minds
of perverse old men
women grow into stories"


Here I feel as though your speaking towards old men


And here.......

"They may have to slap us
to gain their lives."


It feels like you have included yourself.


When you used the word " perverse " it almost sounded like a insult

so it just dosen't feel right as the reader to include the writer with the old men.


Are you trying to speak towards old men or all men ? Do you include you the writer ?
