the way of women...the bane of men.... is it then the woman’s way to want sweet softness in her day to want soft words of sheer delight to know that a man could make things right instead she has to “deal” with men who have it there, within their kin to go to war, fight or debate to carry a grudge, to even hate what is it about a woman, just so to touch the heart of men who go about their day, not looking for ease when in a woman’s eyes, could find peace? I care not to go to war but yes, I will stand up for the right to right a wrong albeit done with song and if I be the one who has done one wrong could a man not forgive when my “sorry” comes along? when I know I could not sway another soul to think my way I would hope the road I travel down would see soft smiles, never frowns for each to their own, to have their thought meanwhile, stuck with men who have fought for one thing or another, all their life and to their end, to live with such strife no, it’s not my way but I see that it’s yours that’s why I’m a woman and you’re a man, for sure! Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Well, that's one sooooo right and one sooooo true. I wonder if there will be any manly input and if so, will it become 49 percent and 49 percent and we will have an unperfect Passions, just as we have an unperfect nation [for the moment....] Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?...

It must be true that men are from Mars and women are from Venus.....those differences are so profound sometimes....can't get around the fact that the two are so differently made. But the bottom line should be...each one should be able to gain the respect of the other by giving in a little to each other in a loving way......but what would I know? ... I have'nt really moved from Mars yet I just travel here to this poetry board because I enjoy it so much....take care, you are a marvelous poet and I know for a fact that you've been married a long time .... so you really know the scoop...love ya ..ethome |

Karilea, of course you're right. Women love and men do fight. But what are men most fighting for? The women that they all adore. For a man must do what's right for you. To keep you safe, he'll fight for you. There's nothing he won't try for you And, if need be, he'll die for you. There's nothing that a man won't do To find your love - unearth it 'Cause, Karilea, I have no doubt You would be more than worth it! |

THis is the part where I should start defending men right... but somehow I think it would just get caus ethe snow ball effect, so I will just take out my hairdryer and melt that snow ball, damn those men that fight just have not been loved... or something like that... but us men are not that bad, well speaking for the Irish ones anyway. enjoyed the poem. < !signature--> "an afixiation a fix on anything the line of life the limb of a tree the hands of he and the promise that s/he is blessed among women".
