Literature Text

women, true, our gifted gender,
seeing further, nigh forever,
beguiling men to gibbous wonder -
asking, 'does she really know?'

his cratered dreams and jagged plans,
trespassed by hands of other men,
she fades from sight a later night,
leaves a luna'd afterglow.

more graceful is the distaff face,
appearance feminine as lace,
dawn and dusk her path shall trace;
mother's pull declares it so.

men, they moon o'er lack of touch,
'poetic waxing' not enough.

found this lingering from a one stanza
start more than a year ago.

yes, i am a sort of romantic. about
time i posted something that reads
and sounds like poetry, somewhat
resembling a sonnet perhaps.

does this suffice?

two one-word edits, 8-3-11.
a tiny bit of re-punctuation, for nuance, 8-8-11.

Another beauty, you old romantic you.

I hope you don't have to do too much 'poetic waxing' to keep you warm as winter draws in ;)
