Class Poems
A Woman Is More Beautiful

A woman is more beautiful than a flower
A female has style, charisma and power
Beautiful eyes
Beautiful nose
Beautiful thighs
Beautiful toes
A woman smiles
A woman laughs
A woman cries
Walks, dances and sighs

All verse is occasional verse.
In March, trying to get home, distracted

and the man was just another drunk,
black in this case, familiar, dirty.
I moved past them both, got on the bus.
