Compatibility Woman's essence blooms as the budding of the rose, full-bodied bouquet, finely-sheened satin, absorbing lawn's warmth from waving tress to curling toes. Man's aura exudes strength as the stretching arms of the mighty Oak, strong-boned, angled features, sheltering its charge beneath, gentle shade protecting stately. Together, forming balance, finessing the scene; Large, powerful branches to its delicately petaled counterpart embracing compassion’s quiet gleen. ...chanson~ ~o~ "Music, when soft voices die, Vibrates in the memory..." ~o~ P.B.

You've written a really unique piece here! I love how you've portrayed the delicate nature of women and the strength of man. And combining the two together in the end. Excellent work! <*\\\>< Be an organ donor...give your heart to Jesus! |

No doubt some will argue that it's sexist but I'm a romantic at heart and like to think of the man as the strong one (in muscle, that is...not neccessarily in mind. LOL) I'm happy your enjoyed it, Whtdove!  ...chanson~"Music, when soft voices die, Vibrates in the memory..." P.B. Shelley |

Chansie - I love the metaphor you used here. You really sewed it up nicely, too, which can be a real stumbling block if it isn't done right. As for sexist... You may relax here in the Forums. Nobody here is a sexist watch out for Balladeer, Rebel, and all those other men! They cannot be trusted because they are terribly sexist and will want you to send them peekshures. You may trust us all to be respectful. |

I like that sexist stuff myself, (she says while looking out the window to see if her prince is riding towards her) Very cool poem. Catalinamoon |

Hi chanson.... I love the definite differences between male and female in the beautiful work. I guess that makes me a sexist, too, but it's ok here at Passions!!! We all accept each other's view.......great job!!! Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

Thank you Sunny1! I like it here very much at Passions. It's so refreshing, unlike many sites where spammers get the best of the forum. ...chanson~"Music, when soft voices die, Vibrates in the memory..." P.B. Shelley |

Oh yes truly a reasonable explanation justifing the creation of two totally different genders...I would not want to live without a woman's touch...James |

The best thing about being a man to me is that I enjoy the touch and the compassion of a woman. True to me is that the woman holds the most power of all just in the complexity of emotions and heart. Lovely read. |

Likewise, in that I mean I wouldn't want to live without the strength and 'protection' that a man offers. Thank you, James. ...chanson~"Music, when soft voices die, Vibrates in the memory..." P.B. Shelley |

I agree Mark. I think the woman is the softer and more compassionate of the genders. ...chanson~< !signature-->"Music, when soft voices die, Vibrates in the memory..." P.B. Shelley [This message has been edited by chansondegeste (edited 08-30-2000).] |
