This is a smattering of poems, primarily of men
With only Elizabeth Barrett Browning to represent women

With sentences of dying, fighting and of loves lost
I wondered if the authors ever thought about the cost

Of praise heaped high, judged merely for your sex
Forgetting about Dickinson, Parker, Angelou and the rest ( )
