Sometimes she is glass, sometimes granite
Smooth and clear as crystal
Stubborn as stone

Storms or the sunset of summer September
Swirling churn of emotions, sweet in apple red tone

Sometimes relinquishing reason
Standing with eyes wide in wait
Standing gales and seas in high treason
Sometimes to fight all alone

Satin and silk to be fondled
Sometimes to steel in protect
Seeking to know every part of his heart
Sometimes the most and the least very tart
Sometimes of fear never shown

Sometimes she is glass

Simply superb! Your use of alliteration was very effective!

A well-balanced woman has both the yin (glass) and the yang (granite)elements to varying degrees.

I always appreciate your poetic talent and your views on life and living!

Sometimes crystalline stone
Seldom tarnished or alone
Simply awesome with words
Soaring, a white young bird.

Simply sweet,  such a treat,  so so neat,
Seldom beat....

Nicely done Kay...might this be a woman
we all know?

(smiles) Oh my gosh, this is lovely, sweet friend, I love your use of anaphoa and alliteration in this as you make everything reflect like glass, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kathleen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

The words in your poem flow so easily, which is a good trait. I loved it!

"Sometimes she is glass, sometimes granite

What a beautiful and wonderful way to describe ANY woman...and truthful too.
Wish I had said it...glad you did because it just embelished the rest of this wonderful write...
