Why is poetry and whatnot?

[deathrider1991]

Classified as feminine?
Camille: No, they are not, usually she is hearing what she wants to hear.

[Pam R]

Didn't know it was considered feminine

Have you ever heard of Shakespeare?

[Rebecca W]

WHo knows? Two greatest poets who ever lived--Chaucer (male) and Kahlil Gibran (male)

"And your fragance shall be my breath, And together we shall rejoice through all the seasons"
Kahlil Gibran
Love Letters in the Sand

[BratRich]

Its hard sometimes not to play with words and arrange them in poetic way, when you look at some faces.

It's not classified as feminine. Poetry actually has little to do with gender its the English language condensed and made beautiful. Here's part of one of my favourites by Tennyson:


Ulysses - Alfred Tennyson

It little profits that an idle king,
By this still hearth, among these barren crags,
Match'd with an aged wife, I mete and dole
Unequal laws unto a savage race,
That hoard, and sleep, and feed, and know not me.
I cannot rest from travel; I will drink
Life to the lees. All times I have enjoy'd
Greatly, have suffer'd greatly, both with those
That loved me, and alone; on shore, and when
Thro' scudding drifts the rainy Hyades
Vext the dim sea. I am become a name;
For always roaming with a hungry heart
Much have I seen and known,-- cities of men
And manners, climates, councils, governments,
Myself not least, but honor'd of them all,--
And drunk delight of battle with my peers,
Far on the ringing plains of windy Troy.
I am a part of all that I have met;
Yet all experience is an arch wherethro'
Gleams that untravell'd world whose margin fades
For ever and for ever when I move.
How dull it is to pause, to make an end,
To rust unburnish'd, not to shine in use!
As tho' to breathe were life! Life piled on life
Were all too little, and of one to me
Little remains; but every hour is saved
From that eternal silence, something more,
A bringer of new things; and vile it were
For some three suns to store and hoard myself,
And this gray spirit yearning in desire
To follow knowledge like a sinking star,
Beyond the utmost bound of human thought.

Because women are deep and analytical by nature. We're very good at reading between the lines which is what a lot of poetry entails. That's why when you're talking to a girl, she hears something completely different from what you're actually saying.
