Thoughtfully perused the concepts of man The intricate moods and multi-plex plan More percent boy in the wishes and whims Most percent joy competing with hims Thinking there must be embodied this free The shell hard as stone to hide gentler he More in the large and less in the small Most to be heard from the top of the tall Thorough confusion the sweet and the sour The lines that define his illusional power More in the right and less in the meek Most to be mighty, the prominent peak Thoughtfully too, what escapes the first glance The creative conditions that allure him to chance More in winning the hand than in taking the stand Most a quality mix of combust and command Thinking then heartily that a spirit so free The incredible drive to attain happily More to succeed in the grit push to shove Most in full speed for the freedom they love More in the mixture, the cocktail male Most to be toasted, a comet to hale Copyright Kkh 5/12/03 [This message has been edited by ThisDiamond (05-12-2003 05:28 PM).] |

What a bright diamond you are! I enjoyed this so much. I, myself, wrote something today about males...well a particular male who exhibits the qualities you discuss here. Great minds think alike! Except that you expressed it so much better than I. Loved the flow, the words, the everything here. BRAVO! This Diamond shines exquisitely bright today! -Patricia |

oooooo..OUCH!!! Now, I would think that I should counter with some appropriate remarks regarding the weaker of the sexes.....Right girls? This seems like a perfect spot to bash and smash....to cull the crop, so to speak. Very good K. How could you know so much about the male psyche?? Ya got my competetive juices goin' so hang on to your petticoats, slips and so forth.... |

Cheers! This poem deserves undivided attention, simply because you have gone to great thought in putting aside the snips and snails and puppy dog tails, and giving the males the credit that is due them. Now, where is its counterpart? |

I delight in the thoughts of my readers...as for counterparts... I read something about competitive juices flowing...but not a drop to drink... I guess it is up to us...hmmm.... All Smiles, TD |
