Jerry T Curtis Poet I do not know?

Woman

In the time before my time
There was danger 
Yes, danger in the world
Who was there 
Who was there to face it
All alone
I was young, not quite a man
Not knowing the world 
Not ready to face
To face it on my own
Yes a woman, just a women
She stood strong 
Trained me well
With what's right and wrong
Held the fort made me strong
Now the years have taken toll 
I see the pain that plagued her so
With no one, to look up to
To draw strength from, when times were cruel
I now can clearly see
Women are women
When they have to be
Perhaps it's a spiritual plan  
Without a woman there is no man
I would like to pay
pay with affection 
all the years of neglecting 
But the Woman's self assuring
with a spirit, that's enduring 
Knows beyond what can be seen
And rise above all things that be

James Tate June 12, 2015 at 4:55 PM Interesting poem with interesting form, Repetition on occasion, rhymes dropped in here and there all tend to keep reader hooked. Good job. Is tole correct?

Toquyen Harrell June 9, 2015 at 10:35 PM I don't know what you are trying to guzzle out but you got it right. Without woman you will have no wing. Ahh, but you can be a duck lol Jerry T Curtis June 14, 2015 at 11:21 AM I guess I'm jut one of those, who have to experience things myself. lol Toquyen Harrell June 11, 2015 at 8:39 AM Ohh crap is sooo good haha. Why don't you ask me? I could have told you :) Jerry T Curtis June 11, 2015 at 6:45 AM This is the kind of work that comes from way to much research and not enough time to attempt to digest it on an emotional level. I believe that the kind of understanding needed to begin to realize a woman's worth, is attainable, but not obtainable, and therefore impossible to put into words-----So, in other words---sometimes ----I write Crap ! Thank you Toquyen
