The Women

The Women

A Poem by Raya

The woman in the white dress
Sips white wine 
And plays the white side of chess 

The woman with the red lips 
Seduces men and 
And in the purse she keeps her tips

The woman with the dark eyes 
Watches from the corners 
And laughs at all the lies

The woman with the long hair 
Hides behind the tresses
Afraid of any stares

The woman with the roses 
Is always in the center 
Stricking all the poses  

But the woman who no one noticed 
Became the queen when they sought attention 
For she was the subtlest

~Each woman here seems to embody the characteristics of a woman of a different societal status. The last one being the less dangerous of them all and the one least overbearing. The subtle touch often includes a bit of mystery as well which is intriguing not only to woman but men. This seems to suggest a lesson. ~

Thank you :)
Hahaha the tale of society today of the most powerful and the ones who started from the bottom to the glory of all now forsaken ed eyes. This poem reminds me of myself, and the other quiet girls/boys in school. The ones who always passed their classes, came home to sheer beatings, poverty, etc. But the will was far greater. Nice work once again.

Lol. Of course you are. Thanks :)
Raya - I would look into this one again...and deplete the words and give this more for less...the verse is wanting to come out...but not as is... for example:

Lady in the white dress
Sips white wine
Plays the white side of chess

Woman with the red lips
Seduces men and
In the purse, she keeps her tips

Woman with the dark eyes
Watches from the corners
And laughs at all the lies

Her long hair
Hides behind the tresses
Afraid of any stares

She with roses
Is always in the center
Striking all the poses

No one noticed all the while
She became queen
They sought attention…

For she was the subtlest
