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.

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

Hmmm David, David, a GREAT poem. HOWEVER I got something about the 'male species' I wasnt going to put out. But since you got yours I think the female point of view should be made. But still I feel your poems.

i like the poem, but you shouldn't categorize all women just because you met ONE wrong women, not ALL women think with emotions, and not ALL guys think with their brains. there are some men who 'think' like women and then there are some women who 'think' like men. just for some advice say some not all.. it'll help and maybe most women won't get affended by your 'not fully thought out' words.~Hazel G.E don't take what i said to heart please, this is just my opinion.!

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.
