Anita,
I love the way you blend all these characteristics. Reading this reminds me of the movie "Steel Magnolias" - for how strong the 'fairer' sex really is. We seem to be able to juggle many things without missing a step. Love the flow here, too. Hugs,
Sheila

Damn, I love the way you write. We're very similar, expression-wise. Thanks for the review of don't leave me , love. Just playing around. I really want you to read my best: Long Gone Love, Willow, Old Souls and Journey. Review me when you can. You'll see what I mean by our similarity. The source is great- solid and from a woman who can really think. No flattery from me. I'll be reading you, but must beat a few guys around the world in chess, first. Thanks- Jerry

This is the line of all time right here:
" I am woman, hear me roar "
Man, this is my catch phrase! I feel strife, bitterness and a VERY loud voice in this. It is the voice of all women. This is beautiful. I grovel.

Thanking you,

Teresa

Dear Anita,
This was some really outstanding work. You flavor the piece well....and show what women must endure sometimes to play the role that society expects of them.

I loved this poem. The flow was excellent. How true the many roles a woman must play today. We are more than a pretty face.

This is so true and the writing is absolutely fantastic!!!

I complained to a younger man I like very much one day that I felt old and he said to me, "you're not old, you are ripe." I will never forget what he said.

Great, insightful poetry...

So genteel and uncomplex
Society's labels firmly pressed
On our psyche's like a crest"

hauntingly nice......thanks for the reminder...ladyA....My mirror is my only "real" enemy!! But my gyno told me to switch the light off..if I am making love....and I must avoid sitting on top unless I want to smack the man in his face with the swinging objects.....and never look at myself in the mirror without my make-up....I must just look at the area where I am busy applying my age defying creams...
And look only at the end result...and I will always feel good about myself....hehehehe..I think it was very good advice from him...Goodluck with those swinging objects..

Love
Tinka
