Girls Poem by David DeSantis

Girls

Rating: 4.4


It has suddenly become clear to me
That all women lack some honesty
In their glance
is a bigotry
Most superficial
by decree

You see:

A woman thinks with emotion
With the heart of an open ocean
Filled with warmth and some despair
Happiness and minor care
Where tides can change so quickly
Like a deep tsunami upon the sea
Swallowed whole if not with guide
A man must sometimes forget his pride
And remember most logically
That a woman lives on irregularity
Because if you should not take heed
Then I promise you alone shall be.
So when in pain you find this cancer,
then perhaps seek one more answer,
A tall, thin, dress less standard,
Forget the girlfriend
buy an exotic dancer.

I am torn between defending my kind and rolling on the floor laughing. I'll grudgingly hand it to you- great read, David.

dear david, this line is unique With the heart of an open ocean strangely the poem sounds like a dialogue.

Girls don't change easily their ideas. Sometimes their way of espressing themselves is very various. Their..their..it's better to share something more with women and so to use the adjective: our.

although I personally disagree, this was an amazing poem. An absolute 10/10 Ps. Maybe your just going for the wrong type of women

Eh, what are you going to do? Everybody is a cliche, no? And men and women are opposites, some would argue compliments. Anyway, it was honest and it was clean cut so I liked it.

Oh I bet the women just love you for this one. I have rarely seen a greater condemnation. GW62
