(I wrote this from a male point of view. Or what I hope is a male point of view. How would I know? Anyhow, I wanted a lighter mood.) Rainy Days I was standing in the rain on the corner of Give It Up and Pain watching hope glug down the drain when she walked by. There was something about her stride- a little tilt, a little slide- that made me want to give the ride another try. So I painted on a grin, offered her poetry and gin, and she agreed to take a spin, to my surprise. So here’s a toast, raise up your glass: when you’re sunk in life’s morass, there’s nothing like a lass, to clear the skies. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Nan, I think this qualifies as a write that could have been written by one of many males around here, including moi. A cute poem, thanx for sharing it with us. Sorry I made you cry... |

Interesting! I, myself, never thought of writing from the male perspective! That is such alien territory! LOL But you did a marvellously entertaining job of it!  Enjoyed! Bottoms up! EA |

Some time back, there was a challenge to put yourself into the shoes of the opposite sex and write a poem [or prose]. I chose prose. It's an excellent feeling, to be able to try to see out of the eyes of another, especially of the opposite sex. I'd say you did a fine job with this, and if the challenge were still up, I'd say you had met it, very well indeed! |

Definitely a male perspective and definitely a good one. Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

definetly a poem i could drink to. The only difference between the creative and the conformists is that the creative will not be conquered and the conformists already are. |

Thanks, Martin. Well, I don't have a male point of view, but I've got a couple of sons, and I've seen the way their eyes light up when a girl walks in the room, so I thought this was at least reasonable. October, thanks! Nan (Pilgrim variety) |
