Respect For Liberty

Liberty is a woman, hard to be held.

To the fearful, timid man, her flesh seems cold.

It's hard for them to live, where no rules are spelled.

Her body yearns, for the just,  faithful and bold.

Killing her, they betray family and friends.

Marching shamefully with today's fleeting trends.

Oh Liberty! Liberty!  Where have you gone?

Patriots respect liberty with swords drawn.

Robert Pettit Date: 12/30/2011 10:59:00 PM A fine example of a rispetto poem. In the fifth line, it looks as if we can get away with pronouncing "family" as "FAM-lee". That way, it will appear as if that line has eleven syllables. Your descriptiveness and rhyme are both great in this offering. Login to Reply Christopher Bunton Date: 12/30/2011 11:16:00 PM Corrected.
