The gentler gender for gentlemen . (For contest)
[font=Arial]
I'm proud of belonging to the female race,
To hail from the fair sex
To be a part of womanhood , earthly sisterhood
Not only because I have far less hairy
Smoother, softer fairer pinker skin
than the gents and men
But also because it is only
Our womb that cradles the unborn human
That's why we are the cradle of civilisation and humanity.
And our womanly lap that ensures the survival of the human race
Our motherly lap is said to be a child's first university.
I don't even mind being referred to as the weaker sex
For I connote it to refer to how we are a delicate delicacy
Upon which our men ravish and feast upon
Wherein also lies part of our powers ironically.
I mean I have read of kings who gave up thrones
Just so they can feast their enamoured eyes upon and love a woman!
The chauvinistic world of men has tried to sideline us
Yet powerful women have risen and shone in all ages nevertheless.
Thank you God for creating the mother of all humanity, our first mother, Eve.
Long live womanhood, be proud of your gender.
Let's change the male dominated masculine mindset of this world
And make it more women friendly and feminine.
Men are referred to as gentlemen in English,
yet that can be paradoxically harsh in reality
For more women are gentler ironically .
A woman is flower power
That can shake the world with her delicate petals
As her softer voice has learnt
to pierce, melt and mould his fierce metals
of masculine armours of physical strength
Without employing swords or guns.
A woman is divine art admired by her admirers
A vital divine creation that creates and nurtures
because the Creator has entrusted her with that magnificent role.

Author's Note
Past poeMy version poem inspired by the classic below
Cluttered house
The manager and homemaker here ought to be ashamed
Her scarves are dangling on the lamp
Bath towels are thrown over the corner chair
Because of which the wood's now soggily damp
So many vials are cluttering the ledge of the window
Books and toys are scattered on the floor
Old files and forgotten piles are hid beneath the TV
Gosh, the lost muslin has been found on the door
Her books are half falling from the book case
Sandals slipped from the shoe rack to the hall
For fun contest, inspired by the famous poem that I could resonate with personally.

Favourite verse:
A woman is flower power
That can shake the world with her delicate petals
As her softer voice has learnt
to pierce, melt and mould his fierce metals
of masculine armours of physical strength
Without employing swords or guns.
I applaud a woman proud to be who she is. I BTW am not quick to deride women as the weaker sex - I would argue they are the MORE CREATIVE sex - after all men don't give birth!
