Courtney, my women's chorus is commissioning a choral piece, and the composer is interested in working with Depth of a Woman. We need your permission, though, and VERY quickly- like by Friday (December 15,2017) . You can reach me at amspeicher[at]northpark.edu.
Well done this is a really nice poem. Well done to all the powerfull and deep women out there! I hope to become one x-x-x
This is a particularly beautiful poem. The use of occassional rhyme works very well. The idea of the poem is great, I wonder if the sea simile could not be exorcised in favour of something else that suggests, profoundness.
I love the sea...I swim and surf in it, so I waded into this one to find it less than ankle deep my sweet.
I like the way you made everyone before you was as important as the ones after...good job!
l like your poem, it gives the feeling of honour, and strength. Interesting way, you have styled your words.
This is a lovely thought, Courtney. I have only one criticism. Your first line states 'there is a depth in me that is much like the sea' yet you did not go on and support the simile. You showed that you were wrong, you gave the motivation for strength (your son and daughter) but you didn't really show us how your depth is like the sea. Raynette
