IMMUNE TO LOVE, by VIRGINIA BRADY YOUNG First Line: When love came tapping at my heart Last Line: I wonder: am I -- queer? Subject(s): Love; Women - Employment; Professional Women; Women In Business; Women's Careers | |||
When Love came tapping at my heart, He found it immunized; I did not yield to Cupid's dart, Nor cater to his tricky art Which I had long despised. I've chosen Love's antithesis And planned a great career; Some say a husband's tender kiss And baby's clinging arms are bliss -- I wonder: am I -- queer? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WOMEN TOILERS by GRACE BOWEN EVANS MYSELF AND I by BARBARA E.
