Nitric Acid dissolves iron
And many more hard metals.
A woman's tears dissolve
Men's strong iron minds.
A man hardly sheds tears,
But when he does, quietly,
His tears can only wet a pillow,
And not even the softest mind.

Thank you for liking my poem - This on you have written is a lovely mixture of science and reality, and in turn portrays both with equal truth :)
Excellent poem. Only those can say this to whom tears of woman is precious. Thanks that you are one of them.
'Only those can say this to whom tears of woman is precious. Thanks that you are one of them.' - Thanks to you too, @Ruma Chaudhuri, for such a soul soothing appraisal. Much inspired!
The power of feminine tears to melt the masculine iron is here excellently expressed my friend.
'The power of feminine tears to melt the masculine iron is here excellently expressed' - thank you Howard, for so nicely bringing out the gist of the poem in these appreciative words! Much obliged.
Thank you Collins Annor, I'm glad to have your appreciative comment here.
@Valsa George, Thanks for your comments on my poem. 'A simple sweet poem! ' - Your words too sound sweet to my ears!
It is a baseless assumption! A woman's tears are something frequent.... so it won't get much attention! But a man rarely shed tears...... So it will never go unnoticed. Perhaps a man may hide his tears with a pillow as he doesn't like to be regarded as weak. A simple sweet poem! Thanks Khairul for your comments on my poem... Eagle on Wings!

I would like to translate this poem
This one really packs a punch! I finished and couldn't help but say, woah. And what a creative analogy to show the difference between how men and women express sadness and how it's perceived!
