                  Very emotive without being sentimental, this is always a reliable indicator of good writing. Your poem reminded me of a real person I used to know, a very attractive and able woman, a wife to a no-good husband and a mother to two beautiful girls, who was in an emotional turmoil because it seemed to her, perhaps rightly perhaps not, that her ‘needs’, both physical and emotional (she was 39 at the time), were not only unrecognised by the people around her (husband, mother, etc.) but her right to have such needs were fiercely questioned. I am not attempting to draw a parallel between you and her, just simply explaining the emotive throwback your poem elicited, which is what good writing is all about – conveying and eliciting emotion. – - Anonim.

                Wow!Such a cutting edge,one way. And in another such a feeling of rapture! EXTREME ART. Am I to be touched or torn apart? So now that i have a new experience (oh,there is the other?)...now I got something to play my rattles with...Hey, you're very haunting because you push the limits of what is irreconciable in art....truthful, shattering,and amazing.
And now, if you don't mind, I'd like to start breathing again, because I'm not used to these outer limits.
John

                I had to come back and read this one again 

 It's a sad piece, but very powerful.

                Wow! That's really great. I'm actually a say at home mom, it's strange how your poem notes pretty much exactly how I feel at times. It's a difficult way of life, that most don't understand. I really liked your poem, I thought it was great!

                What a sad yet spirited piece.  It's so good to see your writing, I miss it so much!  Such depth of emotion.

                     I say I kinda miss this little adversaries with you dear...i think its all a matter of individual interpretations. As per this piece from my POV its about a woman fulfilled as wife..as a mother...yet unhappy as an individual. Has nothing to do at all about domestic duties my dear...tho I always value your POV's dear sir.....kudos!

                Hi Purple M.I do see some feminist sequences in here. Say what! I scrub floors, do dishes, and all that is necessary to survive. What is special when a woman does it? Its all feminism!
