Twelve cents

Twelve cents

A Poem by Ahena MK
"

"I like being a woman, even in a man's world. After all, men can't wear dresses, but we can wear the pants." - though the quote is unrelated :)

"

12 cents 

 

Throwing all that the sun glares

Doesn’t seem to bother tear

Clouds that hover in the air

Oh mighty! He bears

 

Shadows do the trees share

Under which cattle rare 

To later enter the exchange fair 

 

I go to the fair and buy a pair

And treat them like my only heir 

And feed them till I no more care

To leave and go I now dare

 

To trade in money for sheep hair

With which I’ll buy a dress that glares

For the one I most care...

This was so nice and wonderfully crafted.Well done :)
Like this, well written, such an extended rhyme is hard to hold together..
Enjoyable read. Nicely penned.
Very nice write and imagery Ahena
Imagery is good, it was a delight to read Ahena. I owe so off to work I go, and make sacrifices for someone else's benefit...
You are right. Woman do have options. Nice flow of thought allowed the reader to fall into the entertaining poetry. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
