Michael Dom Poet Quatrain

Cassandra's Quatrains For a Young Man

Whenever I see a young man
Proudly made of steel
I wonder at the young woman
Sure to make him kneel

Wherever I hear a young man
Loudly praise his great deal
I ponder if a young woman
Might make much of his meal

Whatever a young man 
Gladly claims to bear his seal
I tender that a young woman, 
Somehow, had made him real

Whomever would deny
That anything he may feel
Is not without a reply
In the partner at his heel

Is a fool; young man, tenfold.
We each are bound to repeat,
True or false, even the foretold,
Till our lives becomes replete.

Suzanne Delaney September 2, 2016 at 5:28 AM Love the many ways of saying romance is in the air. In stanza 3 line 4, I had to wonder if you meant, made him real, or made him 'reel', as in giddy. Love the poem. SuZ

Richard Lamoureux July 28, 2016 at 9:16 AM This is a fun one. If a young man is fortunate he will find a woman who still loves him when he becomes an old man.
