Wonder woman





i am no warrior tiara princess 


hand to hand combat is not my style
no lasso of truth girths my tiny waist

much less, indestructible bracelets,
super human stamina, maybe when

i juggle cooking, cleaning, laundry,
while paying bills, taking care of hearth

i am no wonder woman poster

skimpy ambitions are not for me,
red-knee boots, perfect for shoveling snow

tactical warfare is not my wont,
cunning and confidence, smarter way to be

gifted tongue i save, to whisper words
praise and joy, brave and true voice


the woman of your wonder,
that I strive to be

    Any woman who juggles all that IS a wonder woman! We all are as far as I'm concerned!

    Terrific! Wonder Woman indeed is a super hero(ine) in many homes. I hope she doesn't wear herself out spreading herself too thin.....

    I always have great admiration and respect for all the wonder women of the house.They work without fanfare and money for 24 hrs a day! And they are supposed to be the weaker sex!

    I could have hi-lighted the whole thing and reposted here as I enjoyed the whole thing. You are a super-woman but your tiara is invisible! :)

    I posted too late to link, but you might enjoy this adult comic... It surprised me that I am enjoying it...
