MAN OH MAN, WHAT A GREAT POEM, YOU ARE A GREAT POET, I DARE SAY IF YOU HAD LIVED IN THE DAYS WHEN POETS BECAME FAMOUS, YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN ANOTHER ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING , YOU HAVE SUCH A WAY OF PUTTING THE WORDS TOGETHER TO KEEP THE READER HANGING ON EACH WORD AND LINE, YOUR POEMS DESERVE TO BE PUBLISHED FOR ALL TO READ, I WISH I KNEW YOU AND YOUR STORY, SOMETIMES YOUR WORDS SEEM TO COME FROM A BROKEN HEART, I WROTE ONE TIME SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT, THAT THE WORDS ARE SWEETER WHEN THERE ARE TEARS ON THE PAGE, I WISH YOU ALL HAPPINESS AND I FEEL BLESSED TO BE ABLE TO READ YOUR POEMS.

I am speechless! I have no words to qualify the beauty and the sadness of this poem in the classical mould, like rain and sunshine at once. As I was reading I was so touched that it brought my heart to my mouth. You have done all mothers in the world proud. Men should know and remember what women go through to bring up their children, and one day, like the birds, they fly away to the distant skies, the mother invariably comtemplating and wishing them good wherever they are. Kudos,ma'am, and
xoxoxo -:)

Sinome
I am overcome with emotion from reading this, for some reason I saw only my mother, who had raised 8 children on a cold island in the atlantic, surrounded by the French language and she was the young daughter of a British barrister and judge, and only spoke English. Your writing is so filled with the sadness and joy of humanity.

You have captured themes that have been quite dominant in the life of women.

I read this hours ago and did not respond at that time. It made me think of lots of women that I have known. But, I'm happy to say that not every woman's tale is the same as this one. Of course we all have the same ending, and pretty much the same beginning, but the time in between is pretty much what one makes of what one has. Great writing.

this poem convinces me more and more that the elderly should all be on antidepressants. why the needless feelings of emptiness and humiliation. It's redicuclous.

The Woman
This took some writing Simone and I think sadly it has been the fate of many women in different degrees. Nice finish emotive piece.
