OH, WOMAN (Rhyme)

A response poem to Sami Khalil's PRIMA DONNA

Oh, woman!

That

beauty

is not

everlasting

For like

a fancy

jewel

it will

tarnish

What you

possess

today

couldn't be

enduring

For in

due time

all of

those things

will vanish.

 

Oh, woman!

Why do you

always seek

what’s not

for you?

 

Look closely

At your

Hands

And what

You hold

 

Isn’t it

Enough to

Smile

And laugh

Against the woe?

 

There are still

Some things

You just

Have to

unfold…

It is wise to build a future, while we have the vitality of youth.

This message brightened me up and I'm sure it has the same effect on other women, too. After all, this poem seems to have an angel's voice which soothes one's soul. This reminds me of some good verses in the book of Psalms. Way to go, Ate! :)

Thanks, Blue.
Any good piece can motivate a reader to make a response poem like this. I owe it to Sami's poem.

[Lyn Anderson]

I think this is an excellent piece, and I like the way you have constructed it. One tiny comment - "always seek for what's not for you" would it flow better just as "always seek what's not for you"

[Dhaye]

Oh, thanks a lot. I noted there that I welcome any constructive criticism. I honestly need it since this is my first time to make something with this structure. And I'm not really sure with the grammar itself because as you see, it's done for some minutes only after commenting to Sami Khalil's post. I really appreciate you heard my wish. LOL
I'll take your suggestion 100%. Kudos!

You are very welcome. We all need to help each other.:)
