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.

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

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.

If I got it right, it's a great message, Michael, and a very interesting title you gave it.
