Man:
I am bold like fire spreading out heat
It matters not what predicament be;
I cause north and south wind to meet
Alas! No sooner did he utter verse
Round corner came chuckle sweet
Woman:
It seems to me you are a tad misled
Scarcely ever have a myth you read
I am dauntless, I am as stout as ice
Trust nothing comes without a price
Amid their groans fell flakes of snow
Riposte now caused his mirth to flow
Man:
Inane rather frivolous seems account
Have you no clue of all what you state
I am adept, oh shrewd much like fox
I cheat twice hour that pass on clock
Alas! No sooner did he utter verse
Far came a wild unearthly scream
Nature:
Oh, many a duo amongst creatures seen
Had enough of both your squabbles keen
I gather, you wished to see true measure
So then, true measure you both shall see
Divide your woes, come divide your glee
None stronger than other, retort shall be

Fantastic verse Sanaa. This reminds me of an Uncle Remus story. This is classic dear friend.
Sending many hugs – yes I may be emerging from the other side of the moon (as its shrinking)
Thank you so much, Leslie ❤️ so good to see you 😀

Haha! Beautiful! Amazing! I’m not certain at all that this is exagerated. It’s fable-like.
Thank you so much, Susan ❤️ I enjoyed a lot writing this! So glad you liked it 😀
An endless conversation/competition. Well done! I liked Nature putting an end to it with a true show of force. Smiles.
Thank you so much, Sherry ❤️ I thought it fair to include nature 🙂 so glad you liked it.
It is good to get a little more of the background story of Adam and Eve. You have to feel a little sorry for them both as they had no standards to guide their behaviour. Even poor Nature seems to be living in a fools paradise thinking everyone was equal! What an intriguing poem this is Sanaa.
Definitely! An interesting perspective, Robin 🙂 thanks for stopping by ❤️
Interesting how nature brings truth to their boasting. Thanks for the thoughts.
Thank you so much, Rob 🙂 so glad you liked it.
Alas, gender equality has been far from realised in so many places…
Exactly 🙂 thank you kindly, Rajani ❤️
In the end, nature has the last say! Thanks for this Sanaa

A well thought and inspired depiction of the squabbles between genders. I like how nature comes into the picture as a voice of reason. Skillful!
Thank you so much, Khaya 😀 I really enjoyed writing this one ❤️ so glad you liked it.
Stout as ice is a great line in this carefully crafted piece – I love nature’s voice the best i think 😉
Thank you so much, Jae ❤️ so glad you liked it 😀
I can relate to Mother Nature’s call to have her children stop their squabbling.
Thank you so much,Rommy 🙂 so glad you liked it ❤️
A very wise and beautiful poem… I liked the way you put it!!
Thank you so much, Sreeja ❤️ so glad you liked it 😀
Hmmm, yes, Sanaa. The hubris of humans and the all-powerful natural forces that bring them to order! This was well penned, almost like a fable by Aesop!
