Thank you

Not bad, and so well sustained. You made me laugh a lot, and I don't believe your feigned mysogyny in the slightest. I think you just play hard to get, but you're really a sucker for them. Peter

Great work in here on the beauty and danger of the femme fatale. This is a very accurate and historic work that reminded me of these unforgetable women. Well done!

lol, you're a brave one for sure, but you'ce also got your funny bone in the right place. This reads like healthy teasing to me, and that's very welcome in the current man-bashing culture that's gleefully dominating our media.

Comment from Mastery
Hello, Kiwi. I liked your examples in this nicely-written poem however, it was a tad long for the standard poem. Also, Thought I would mention that this line:
"Though stronger than a Kenworth truck,
Delilah with scissors changed his luck" just doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the poem as a "kenworth Truck" modernizes an otherwise ancient times surrounding. What do you think?
Good job though...Bob

Thanks. Yes I paused over the Kenworth truck, but decided to leave it in. I do take your point. Steve

Comment from Dom G Robles
A poem filled with historical trimmings. The "sins" committed by a woman. Citing so many instances, starting from Eve, the writer eloquently portrayed several instances in poetic form events from the Roman Empire... I like the last stanza: "Those who will not learn from History Are doomed to repeat ,that's not a mystery, so I must flee to save my life, Oh deadly peril, here comes the wife!" Beautiful. Dom

Thank you. How did you fare on your History lesson?
Comment from the old guy
No apologies are needed as far as this guy is concerned. And I don't really see it as a misogynistic work, but rather as an honest work. If one studies history, one can see the truth in most of what you've written. Sure you've taken a few liberties, but we poets are allowed that.I think I read somewhere,perhaps in the bible, of the rights of men.(Maybe not there)But it took me three tries at love to end up with the sweet lady who has been my wife for half a century. The first two broke my young heart, the last mended it.Sure there are a lot of Eves and Cleopatras and
Delilahs in this world today, but unless a man is too horny for his own good, he should be able to come out ahead.
This a very good work you've posted, and any man with something between his legs should appreciate what you've
said. Keep up the good work!
