About This Poem

The Truth About Men


Adorned with masculinity, compassionate
   A quiet aptitude, from man came woman, astute
     Charming, scholar, heroic, enigmatic, resolute

XY chromosome meaning eloquently garrulous
  Watchful protector, always making him fond
     A friend in need, a builder of a strong bond

Handsome, virile, gentle, tends to listen then speak
   A knight in armour, exudes his noble character
    Understanding…the perfect partner for him and her.

The seed of life. Shpritz, the leader of the pack
  Yet still able to be tender and give pleasure
     Hologyny supplier measure for measure

A fashion icon, self assured, determined to win
   A mentor. Full of aspirations and a will to conquer
     To take forth life with the power of reason and vigour.

A propensity to survive, yet an ability to be hurt
   To love deeply and intensely as only a father can do
      A Pontist. A Rastaquouere. Most of all a lover of you!

    after posting this I I googled hologyny. It was already a word. Well I'm a bit put out about that but at least I used the rules of english correctly when I thought I was making it up.

    also i love how you incorporated the word hologyny, wasn't sure if anyone would get the meaning of it as coming from the word hologynic (vs holandric). I kind of used the rules of the english language to create that word!

    You get a 7 for this one. We know that all men are created equal, I think some are more equal than others. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice day. Lucilla
