Most of you know already that Dave & I enjoy Playing With Words, which is why we chose that name for the series of poetry books. 

Women's Jealousy won many awards and was an easy choice to include in Towards Understanding, the 1st book in the Playing With Words series.

 

WOMEN'S JEALOUSY

The girl in white lace and shiny gray stockings,

Attacks every man with her nightmarish taunting.

Her beauty is rare, her movements are sure.

Her casual flirting leaves minds in a blur.

Women both hate her and dote on her too.

They wish they could be that woman anew.

But they're only themselves - though jealous they be;

Thinking from women like that, no man would flee.

But she's covered in make-up and shading and light.

And she'll take many photos until she gets it just right.

These women wish with all of their foolish might,

That they forget who their man's with tonight.

As they wrack themselves over this orchestrated myth,

They enlarge the distance from the one they're with.
