About foot binding
BALLAD OF YEEN WANG Pregnable, quick in footfall Gleeful, brunette-bright Custodian of hope, Female, vincible kindling, as Winking, tossing in hearty Turncoat deceit Grownups execute Their attendance On tradition�s bent, and Soon, whitely wrapped In layers, Each gentle Together lethal, Hobbled, shrieking Your woman�s protest Each foot cocooned, You tottered The road To beauty, my mother

This is a very interesting poem, I delighted in the fact that when read from bottom to top it made as much sense. Each line succinct, much like the intention of the white binding. Not supposing distortion, rather, insuring a purposeful clarification. M.True

I've heard of the practice of foot binding - what price, beauty? Sad - painful to read, but necessary - well done, Lucille.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

I viewed a video recently wherein an elderly Chinese woman was showing the result of foot binding..I cried for days..when will the plight of women cease in this woeful world..
Thank you for bringing attention to this evil tradition..
