Never too much, just enough

There is a word left unsaid
for every three I tell you.
Girls learn to speak prior to
and more quickly than boys,
therefore they gain knowledge
of words to be omitted from
their speech a lot earlier.
It's only natural you sense them,
you know them well enough.
They are hiding, not hidden.

    I could quote back the whole poem for excellence because there is not a word wasted.

  2. The female brain works in mysterious ways, but I don't think that all men are as simple as you would think. Some of us are more complex. I for one enjoy the simplest things in life, and often words don't even have to be spoken to appease me. Poetry is my way of establishing the words that are left unspoken.
