People need a poem about a virtuous woman, and so we’ve decided to take that theme and write a couple, just for the heck of it. (Hey, that’s what you do when you’re a Poems Box. ) They’re probably not what you’d expect, especially if you’re looking for something with Bible verses, but hey, at least you can know they are all 100% original.
The Qualities of a Virtuous Woman
Women of virtue
do not lie
they do not falsify
truth is the standard fare
They are independent
of others
they follow none
and do what is right
Respect for life
and all things given
she destroys nothing
in no choice
She moves, she soothes
she helps you out
she has no doubt –
many are the qualities of a virtuous woman.
Tell Me
Tell me,
how do you become
so much better
than the rest of us?
When we fall
you climb
When we divide
you stay whole
Morally excellent
you know
things beyond things
you know a path
that takes on
the road
Will you teach us?
Eskimo Panini
A panini sandwich
made by an eskimo
would not even begin to know
the virtues that have been tested here tonight.
These are just some words
Strong.
Compassionate. Healing.
Truth-telling and trustworthy
Dedicated – creative and still
humble and modest
Friendly and peaceful
liberating and everlasting
Patient. Sincere. Faithful.
These are just a few words
to describe a virtuous woman.
