Day 23/26: WOMAN

For the first time ever, I'm taking part in the A-Z Challenge and NaPoWriMo, where I'll have to write a poem a day for the whole of April (26 in total for A-Z). I'm combining both challenges. This is my re-worked entry for Day 23 letter "W" (Day 26 NaPoWriMo).



A flower’s sadness in winter is greater than the shame of a man whose duplicity has come to light after being unfaithful to the woman once believing in the voice of his love.

Standing before a mirror of kindness, such a man should hide behind his selfish reflection of deceit and dishonesty.

A woman's angelic smile and tender beauty should always be respected and honored by every male gazing upon her feminine image.

A woman is a representation of every flower that decorates the garden and heart of the earth together with the heart of man.

A man’s spirit is fulfilled through the fragrance of a woman and satisfied through the heartbeat of her sensuous touch.

How can any man betray the heart of the woman bearing the same emotions as his mother, sister(s) and daughter(s)?

He should remember that every newborn son comes into existence because of a woman's agonizing, labor pains and then earns the reputation of "man" by revering her sacredness.

A woman will always remain life's most prestigious flower to the man who adores and cherishes her precious heart.

  1. "A flower'sadness in winter is greater than the sadness of a man whose deceit has come to light, after violating the sacred flesh of the woman who once believed in the voice of his love." POWERFUL...I feel that this poem is a tribute to woman. The respect a man shows for a woman as well as the understanding of the pain she has gone through to give birt. This is a keeper.

  2. There are three things men can do with women: love them, suffer for them, or turn them into Poetry.(Your poetic words indicate you do all 3 so well)

    "The smile of a woman, whose innocence is of a tender beauty, should always be respected and honored by every male that gazes upon her image of femininity."

    Always one thing seems very apparent through the words you write...Your value and respect of a Woman.

  16. Andy, you're such an old softy when it comes to the woman you love! It makes us all jealous of that woman, because she is so lucky to have you.

  18. Oh Andy, you're a good man. I know many women who would appreciate these sentiments. I have to give a nod, though, to the men who have dealt with women who should have been faithful to the men who loved them.

    I'm checking in from Patagonia, trying to get caught up on my blog reading but without much success. Have a great week!
