The one pome that has some meaning for me is “Love” on pages 19 – 21. When Chin tried to express the feeling of tired of searching for Ms. Right because she set the bar too high so that no one can reach it. I felt the same way. It’s not because I set my limit too high, it’s the dating shows on the television made me feel that way. The girls and boys often require the second half must have some characteristics, like a Ph.D. and salary. What usually happens is the comers being refused by everyone on the stage. I’m not trying to say the horned guests must have taken every comer, what I’m trying to say is the perfect second half that met their expectations only exist in their dreams. No one is perfect in the world. Even if they do, they don’t need to come to the dating show to find a mate. There is nothing wrong about hanging hopes, and I just want to say maybe Ms. Right will show up if they just lower their requirements a little bit.
Hi Lisha. I agree with you that if you set expectations too high that it would be hard to find your other half. It is true that nobody is perfect in the world. You mentioned that in the poem “Love” that she is tired of searching for Ms. Right. Sometimes when you are not searching, there will be someone who will appear in life. How do you think Chin feels about dating shows?
The show that you mentioned is the perfect example to represent high standards. I also agree with your statement that no one is perfect. It is also worth noting that those who seek to have it all also have nothing. What is meant by that is that you could be at the top but not be happy at all because of the means in which you had to get there. This was a good poem though.
