Advice to men poets
Advice to women poets:
Upon
Wearing a short skirt
Cross your legs frequently.
Remember
To remove the hand
Absently placed in your lap.
Look unconcerned.
Smile
As the waiter approaches.

An intriguing few lines of verse, I'd love to see more clarity and imagery added to this. A very inviting tone you've got here.
Whose hand, exactly? The 'man' poet's? And 'absently'! Come on!!
Good little poem, this, rife with suggestion, if you have an enquiring mind.
I'm presuming the waiter doesn't have a menu in his hands...

May I ask why the title says advice to men poets and the poem says advice to women? Is it me being a bit dense? Sorry, it confused me somewhat. Love the image it conjures.
