The Pride in Her
Tall and graceful like a giraffe, she is,
Her shape, an eight figure.
When she walks; she radiates
And oscillates her behind like a pendulum.
Her face round with bold fitted eyes,
The white bony rolls with a diastema in her upper
Sparks and glitters like gold when she speaks,
No doubt, she is the gazelle of beauty.
Many men that run into her miss their steps,
Some turned crazy by it,
Others contemplate leaving their beloved
And many riders met accident in misplaced focus
The already married sing a million regrets
Her elegance and aesthetics rule the cosmos.
But one is absent if not two;
In her looks, she is overwhelmed,
On her shoulder carries conceits,
Through her mouth comes pride and vainglory
She breathes violence to any being.
Those who ran after her physique returned panting
Like a dog that covered miles.
Beauty attracts; it does,
But that without character repels
Pair it with kind and friendly personality.
About this poem
The poem entitled 'The Pride in Her' is a combination of panegyric and satire that is broadly devided into two major parts; the first three stanzas painstakingly sparks in the mind of the reader, the beauty of a woman that has created an atmosphere of restlessness in men that have come across with her.

The second part of the poem however, highlights the loose ends in this beauty that has captured the hearts of men. In her beauty, she's overwhelmed and takes pride with it. She is proud and vainglorious, she's rude and disrespectful towards others. However the poetic persona describes the nature of a woman, the poem generall more »
