Wanton Woman Poem by Meggie Gultiano

Wanton Woman

Rating: 5.0


I last saw you on frames
Worshiped by gods and demi-gods
Now, you walk once again
In my path for sympathy
Wanton woman
How i envy your beauty
Yet cry for your sorrows

Could this be a weakness
Or just vanity
For i know in the end
It would be us
Walking in shades of green
For comfort and a fan
Or just an avid listener

Hi Meggie Angel - Intriguing Title - lovely poem - I score it TEN. Verse One: Women have great power over men over society - it is based on beauty, brians, breeding and often their degree of 'wantoness' as Courtesans as Escourts as Trophy Brides of the Rich & famous as Class A List Party Women. We do envy them - but in the end they are only human and in a time of crisis they always turn to the Pure &Spiritual Woman (like you Meggie!) for help. Verse Two: The Weaknes and the Vanity is both with the Wanton Woman and the one alongside to hepl - it is a moral dilema but we can't be too judgemental in the end it is US. We walk together the Sinner & the Saint - Green is the neutral colour and has more shades than any other colour so it enables the weak (morally) and the strong (morally) to walk togther and blend. One seeking comfort and the other giving comfort but also getting a frisson from the association 'a FAN' or - as becomes a good Counsellor 'Just an avid listener'. Love you in Poetry - JOHN

Gods have no business in a wanton woman. Gods are only the mental making of man and if any god has had any business with a wanton woman, then, it is only the business of man. Once we fix the identity of god as pure and eternal, he cannot be limited as having all the whims and fancies of a man. Wanton woman- in life, any kind of person is possible. Actually, who abandons whom? So long as empathy is missing in us, this can be an eternal story.
