How Easy Are Earth Girls

I’m Andrea, a visitor to earth,
and I'm a Virgo; astrologically,
stability has ruled me since my birth.
A gentle, mellow earth girl here you see.

I’m tolerant and don’t know how to scold;
relaxed among my students that I teach;
unruffled (some might even find me cold),
and though I speak my mind, I do not preach.

I’m also fairly easy on the eyes;
good-natured, I adjust to any type.
so I had dated lots of different guys,
and for each one I seldom had a gripe.

I’m sure they’d tell you, though I’m fun and breezy,
in one regard this earth girl was not “easy!”

I like this poem. But I think you should have put a question mark after the title. I am a Libra being born on October 14th the same day as Dwight D. Eisenhower. Please let me know if you have mailed out the poems to me. I will send along my most recent chapbook. Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Matt, haven't you ever realized yet. We CAN"T put question marks in a title!!! I HATE that. But when I try it, I can't get my poem to post. Yes, the chapbook went out today!

The ones not easy make the best wives. Yet as young men we did go hard after the more generous ones. Love this very smooth sonnet my friend. Good luck in the contest!

that I could tell. None of the jocks talked to me in H.s. but boy, at the 30th reunion, I was on cloud nine talking to guys who did not even pay attention to me in high school!!! I did date guys older than me while in high school (like already out of school). I was always lucky to date guys who respected the girl's wishes.

Bravo; I like that, let them know, so they don't make a mistake. Been having problems, don't know if it's the site, or my computer. Good luck in the contest... Lucilla

The good Andrea humor. That you do not preach is just one of the things I love about your stuff. If one wants a sermon then one can go to church. Love, daver
