the four stages of womanhood
are as I've heard told in old wives'
tales are as follows; the child
once called a ****** is now a tween;
she is the rebirth of innocence;
the second age is that of mature
womanhood fully grown & nurturing;
the third stage which I'm sure is
woefully misunderstood is the
so-called crone who lives by herself
& follows her own counsel;
the crone stage is where wisdom
visibly matures into the hag;
the fourth stage in which the
most ripened grapes are pressed
into the finest of new wines
