The poem "Coralie" is a love letter to a woman who has captured the speaker's heart. The use of alliteration and rhyme adds a lyrical quality to the poem, and the references to Greek mythology and French culture give it an exotic flair. However, the poem's portrayal of Coralie as a seductive, almost mythical figure raises concerns about objectification and reinforces harmful gender stereotypes.

One suggested line edit would be to replace the phrase "wayward wench" in line 5 with a less derogatory term that does not perpetuate negative stereotypes about women.

Overall, while the poem has some poetic merits, it falls short in terms of its portrayal of women and could benefit from a more nuanced understanding of gender dynamics.

I am beginning to be annoyed at the constant admonishment of objectification
of women, and the gender wokeness. It is almost a crime to use slightly tarnished views of
anyone, without 'engendering' [deliberate pun] a sense of illicit, "mean and damaging statements."
I am sure that eventually, we will be forced to find other descriptive terms for old people,
young man and other general ways of describing people.

"My gosh, look at that person of advanced age leering at that nice-looking, near adult female!"
Instead of: "The dirty old man, watched the teenager sway down the street, proud of her headlights."
Where will be the spice of life, the innuendo, the risqué sense of admiration?
Sarcasm will be a thing of the past and we shall be reduced to making mild statements about
the unattractive "Big bully with a mouth full of rotten teeth." Saying instead; The large, aggressive person
with the need of some dental work. BS! I call Bullshit! Let's stop this crap [nicer word] right now!
I never write with the intent of maligning, objectifying or belittling anyone of any gender, religious persuasion
race, and/or creed. Thank you for your attention. [Those of you who have the attention span of a gnat, and
have either already dozed off or left because of the inability to bear criticism... are excused.] ~ Geezer.
