Daughter of Eve...
I am a woman. Simply, proudly. The colours of the earth live in my womb.
From me are born the noblest heroes. Alas, mindless fools too.
I bear the marks of love and the scars of violent childbirth. Sacrifice is my lot. Simply because I am a woman.
I am called a lady, sometimes a whore but every ship carries my flag.
I am man's desire. His nemesis. His downfall but also his greatest ally and loyal lover. The world is born from me and paradise lies at my feet.
Simply because I am a woman, a daughter of Eve..

An old piece of writing that I reshaped into a drabble :-D

This is superb, Frenchie! I love the concepts and the word-efficient ways you have expressed them. For a mere man, and much has been said about them, little good, it shines a piercing light into what constitutes womanhood. Brava!

This is wonderful. A perfect description of woman to go along with Billy Joel's "She's Always A Woman." I always thought his line "she'll bring out the best and the worst you can be" really captured the effect a woman has on a man. And this drabble is right up there with that.

I welcome anyone spotting and pointing out a typo. I proofread out the yin yang before I post and it still happens sometimes.
