A Helpmeet for Him: pg. 182
'I see woman's [your] true colours shining' and they're pretty mighty under the demeanour

Woman are below men? Honey, men needs US, these three stanzas prove it.
Notes.
AO3: A 'Helpmeet' is what Eve is to Adam in Genesis. Interestingly, the original word in hebrew was 'ezra'. The other instances where this is used is when the bible is describing Jesus, the saviour- what do you think of this?? Does it relate to the poem?
AO2: There are also numerous features in this poem that make the tone/flow of the poem feel harmonious, features such as soft assonance, rhyme scheme or the almost mirroring form (4-3-4 formation). I feel this is to emphasise the fact that men and women need to work in harmony.
