Notes About The Poem

A Man

man’s Achilles’ heel
is not shown when he is mad
it’s when he’s in love







;)

Note: This is Man's Nature this time not nature of nature.
I suppose to say, madly in love, lol.

Timothy Hicks April 20, 2013 at 5:11 AM I though this was really creative. You took an iconic thing like the Achilles heel and turned it around into something completely different. A lover not a fighter... love how you expressed yourself in this one! Also I appreciate you checking me out earlier :)

Poet Destroyer A March 2, 2013 at 5:05 AM Good morning Sweet sis...look at me! I snuck on to the soup so early in the morn. Glad I got a nice loving hi from you. I still remember this lovely gem... love how easy it is to fall with one click on the heel. Love the Greek story, on Achilles. ..love love...pd
