MAN AND WOOOMAN
English Poetry, March 2012 Contest |
MAN & ‘WOO’MAN
Eyes pierce;
words penetrate;
countenance corrodes…
pity those tough hearts
of rough masculinity
genuflecting
tender muliebrity.
Just think of poor God
…He dares once in a while
out of Maya-muffle
to eavesdrop His devotees’ troubles.
Got encapsulated in Her
enchanting shell, spell
…the God became a helpless manikin
caught within Her tall
woo-prison walls.
What to say
of frail mortal man;
truly gullible
to sirens’ smirks,
swings, snits and whiffs!
O’ man, O’ man…always gets tangled, wangled
and ‘woman’gled
like a fish in an angler’s net.
Anuradha,
Glorifying womanhood.
Tough one.
Learnt some new words. Some coined by you.

“O’ man, O’ man…always gets tangled, wangled
and ‘woman’gled
like a fish in an angler’s net.”
Yet we men say we are superior
though most are mostly easily enticed nuts 🙂
over the years, Anuradha…I have begun to love reading your poetry. The way you juggle with words leaves a wonderful taste in the thought process…
Thank you so much for sharing your writes.
well crafted poetry.
Anuradha,
man and woeman 🙂
Don’t mention nets to an angler!
…yet it is true that we all sometimes get man’gled or woman’gled in the lines that we are lured to weave. (plenty of fishing puns in there),
