Give Me My Sisters

 

 

A true sisterhood

defends, protects, supports

what makes them better

Never will there be a lack

 for if there is an opening somewhere,

  they will fill it

If an opening is needed somewhere,

 they make one available

Unlike my brothers,

 there is no impotence

For the sisterhood observes each others

 wombs, breasts

 and they do not squirm

As many believe there to be

 power in numbers,

it only takes one to work magic

And it does not take magic

 to weave a web

But it is the magic that brings them all together

Anyone or someone else

be them brothers and those of good ole boys

 keeps the bigger players out

especially after they greet each other

  in the locker room

Boys can be

 and are the most caddy

size queens

I'm guessing by 'sisterhood' you mean women in general...but...I have a fabulous relationship with my two sisters, always have had and I am indeed blessed by that. You speak of locker rooms...lol, try eavesdropping in a men's locker room! Not that I have HAAA!!!
Most of your piece favors the tight knit camaraderie that women share and I certainly agree for the most part, but I have to say that I have met some tyrants who would rather drink my blood than have a cup of tea...Not sure what to make of this, but given time I'm sure I could come up with something befitting...
An interesting, different and thought provoking piece TT...

Cheers~

Very good poem... :)

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The 'edited' version of this is clearer TT and it shows the difference between women bonding and men trying to bond. I think that is the difference, men tend to 'try' whereas women will bond naturally. I believe the reason for this is that women were second class citizens for so long that they had no choice but to band together and find strength in numbers...the only place that bonding occurs between heterosexual men is the sports field!
Interesting study!
