~I Am

I am a fragrant lily

soft as morning dew,

 strength of mother lioness

    protecting her cubs

I am nonsense, clever,

   sensual & extravagant

I can make your day

   or break your heart

Take care of business,

   roar in the bedroom 

     appetizer in the galley   

I could raise your sun

  or blow your mind

Be your concubine

   or take control

I am tender inside

 and out

with a soul 

   of titanium

I bend but

don't break me

I am woman

in purest form

The true heart of a woman ... yes, a true woman.
I can make your day
or break your heart" are the lines which are captivating for me. I think it depends upon the personality of the man, huh! So don't dare to tease a woman. LOL.

Like it, Frieda. I salute this piece for women like us!

Strong and gorgeous! The first stanza was amazing, "I am a fragrant lily
soft as morning dew, strength of mother lioness, protecting her cubs"

[Frieda P]

I love a woman that knows how to enjoy being a woman, and is not afraid to show it.

[Frieda P]

It's *US* Vani, thanks so much my friend, and also for adding it to your FB page, I'm humbled to say the least.

God may have created man before woman,
But there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece.

I love how you go from being a delicate flower to a fierce lioness. I love the contrasts here. It's those surges of pure self esteem you get, that make you come up with all this awesome s**t :D This is super inspirational!

[Frieda P]

Ha that made me smile, 0-60 in 2.7 sec, that is woman ;-) Thanks Siren!

[Blue Ivory]

I don't get why people see being a woman as unfortunate. You have so many advantages!

[Angel]

Someone once told me that God created man first, and then, having figured out what He was doing wrong, He created His masterpiece...woman.
This is exquisite, Frieda...one of your best yet. I love it...

[Frieda P]

Oh I like that Angel....thanks so much my sweet friend...

[Deron Alexis]

well described really begs the question what is purist form as far as women go. they have different characteristics but also a femininity that can't be defined or pinned down its amazing really well done with your poem Frieda i guess you know enough on the topic to write on it. and this review is taking me long to write because whenever i discuss women I tread lightly lol but really if femininity had to pinned though it can't I think the dictionary would use this as a definition

[Frieda P]

'Can't be defined' that's probably the best definition! Thanks Deron.

[Pryde Foltz]

ROAR. We do need to be reminded. Thank you, Frieda.

Grazie mille Pryde...
