The brazen way some women dress,
I swear they’re in need of a redress.
With swarths of fresh skin exposed
decency demands they wear more clothes.
Advocates for women’s rights (men mostly)
claim a redress would be far too costly.
And at a time when a woman’s wage
is below that of a man’s, on average,
less clothes makes good economic sense.

I think the rain has to be my muse.
Sheets of unbent rain does fall.
Threads of silver drifting down,
Flowing through my pen effectively
To quench my poetic thirst through verse
Impressive an unpredictable, it is,
Just like Mother Nature's moods.
It's so romantic and enlightening,
Or so raw and dramatic in it's fury.
The only thing predictable
Is the unpredictability of it's swarths.
