Venus Not Mars

Men have logic and physical strength,
Judging objects by their width and length.
Yet lose despite strong ammunition,
To women's innate intuition.

Oh, being a woman, I know this to be true, Margarita. I love the alliteration of "innate intuition" - it is poetic and it pays homage to an inspirational gift and a survival mechanism. I admire your rhymes (ammunition/intuition.. ingenious!) and your expression of contrasting ideas. Congratulations for your excellent win in Brian's contest.. ~Susan

Oh thank you, Susan! Supposed to be solely humorous, ended up being very gender philosophical... Never know! :) Margarita

Nice musings on the sexes and their unique strengths, Margarita. I often have wished I were better in the intuition department. Congrats on your win ~ John

Let us admire your strengths! Tried to comment on your Four Seasons in Your Soul, but it didn't let me. So here I will: Always admire laconic and vivid. Warm Welcome to Canada on such cool note. M.

My logic tells me Mars is a good place to be, but then I'm a man... Very cleverly penned, Margarita. John
