I was stumped the other day
By a question in my DMs
It was a simple question
Asking me what do I want in men
I looked back at the question
Several times that day
I didn't have an answer
I didn't know what to say
In my younger years
I would have been specific
Cute muscles funny and
A personality that came with it
But as the years went by
None of that meant jack
I can't think of one of those men
That I would want coming back
As a mature woman
My wants are not the same
I'd be happy with a man
Who's not into running game
Someone who realizes
Just how precious my time is
Someone who respects mine
Because I will respect his
Someone who knows how to relax
Not always on the go
Prefer someone with adult kids
With their own lives you know
A man who is mature
But still has a little fire
There you go the man I want
The Man that I desire
As for the guy that asked the question
I did not respond
I ended up just blocking him
A decision of which I'm not fond

Howard comments, 'I have been writing since I was 11, at 17 I experienced a writers' block that caused me to be unable to write until about a month ago' and here it is.
Howard's casual, colloquial style of writing doesn't just cross the normal bounds of poetry, but it invites the reader into a casual conversation with this speaker. The easy-to-read language and some quite funny lines makes this an enjoyable read, and different from the rest.
