Shrewdness of the Shrew

The shrewdness of the shrew
Out of place on her
Would better be placed 
Upon a gentle woman
Of genteel character

This shrew of a woman
Abused by a man in her childhood
Angry all the time
Doesn't even know why herself
The only thing she knows 
Is she is angry at this man




In the process of thought.....

A thought provoking poem. I shall be looking forward to your further thoughts.Dear Sara, It is a news to me to learn there are people in America that can't afford a Tomb Stone. What a pity! Thanks for your kind words on my poem The unmarked Grave. I needed them. -Mohammad
