From behind the veil of woman

 

From behind the veil of woman there are
eyes that rarely miss the smile of a child
ears that hear the babies cry in the quiet of the night
a touch that can sooth a skinned knee.
From behind this veil that covers abuses imposed
because of her gender, because of her status
lies the future of a nation, the world.
lastly, from behind that veil that isolates her
comes the gentleness and grace, that is woman,
which can not,
be hidden by any veil no matter how dark .

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
