Modern Man *Warning, you may not like this*
Consider your self warned.
Modern Man
Materialism
Worldly things.
Man used to fight with swords
Flashy things of a different sort
Modern man? You have Power?
You are as soft as the sprinkle from my shower,
Oh, you great big tower
Flashy cars and diamond rings
A heart and soul that sings
Gone are the days of the Man of power,
Welcome to the days of the fragrant flower

Any thoughts on the poem?
Writings of a Mrs 
man could be considered a gentle rain or flower, if he wasn’t so cruel and devastating to all around him… 😥
You are so right.
I like the photo.
My analysis of poetry is beyond poor 😦
Mine too. I’m still trying to figure it out remember!? https://writingsofamrs.wordpress.com/2013/04/11/3-things-poetry-is-not/
Cheers.
Good reading on a Monday, for sure.
What about on a Thursday? 😉
Those too, although they’re the end of the weekly crunch period for me and thus not as stressful.
That’s so true! Knights of The Round Table comes to mind. The centuries have certainly changed humanity.
Yes! I have been watching Game of Thrones lately.
Maybe that’s where the inspiration came from!
I love knights!
That era of old England is incredibly fascinating to me! Such exciting times to live.
I like it! This is very honest. May I ask what your inspiration was? 🙂
Thank you.
Just pondering about men, their changing roles, mankind as a whole, materialism, on and on we go..
Yeah, I definitely understand that. It was very easy to see your thought progression here. It’s so great how a simple thought can turn into such a nice piece of work 😉
This was delightful and gave me a wicked grin.
Cheers to a wicked grin!

How you carry on, Lady Jen! I love oil of amber.
Oil of amber is very fluid and penetrative and was once used as an antihysteric…
Yes, I googled that.
Cheers,

I like this alot…so very true in so many ways…what we value in our modern society is rarely honorable…such a shame. 🙂
Thanks.

This might not have been what you were thinking exactly but your writing reminds me of modern day sit coms. It’s sad what the world thinks the role of men is today. The women are the bread winners, care givers, house keepers while the fat man (husband or dad) just sits on his couch, with his buddies and watches football…. while the woman does everything…. pop culture is actually very degrading to the few men who are still men and are invoved at work and with the family.
Laura,
The beautiful thing about poetry is that it can be open for interpretation.
The world has definitely changed and shifted roles.
I respect men and their many hats just like I do women.
I was just pondering about men, their changing roles, mankind as a whole, materialism, on and on we go..
Thanks for your comment,
Jennifer
We need better men.
And better women. 😉
Cheers.
