With a name like Smuckers Member # 10289	posted LOVE POEMS FROM ANCIENT EGYPT Egypt seems to have a history of romantics. I found this online, a nice love poem written extracted from a 3,000 year-old papyrus: She is one girl, there is no one like her. She is more beautiful than any other. Look, she is like a star goddess arising at the beginning of a happy new year; brilliantly white, bright skinned; with beautiful eyes for looking, with sweet lips for speaking; she has not one phrase too many. With a long neck and white breast, her hair of genuine lapis lazuli; her arm more brilliant than gold; her fingers like lotus flowers, with heavy buttocks and girt waist. Her thighs offer her beauty, with a brisk step she treads on ground. She has captured my heart in her embrace. She makes all men turn their necks to look at her. One looks at her passing by, this one, the unique one. http://homepage.powerup.com.au/~ancient/love.htm

With a name like Smuckers Member # 10289	posted That's nice isn't it? The best poem anybody ever wrote to me was a Roses are Red Violets are Blue poem in the 3rd grade. (By the way, does anybody know what a girt waist is?)
desertgirl Member # 12450	posted I am not really sure but to gird = to girt and it means a waist that is laced up (to look tighter)
