Doormat Comments

A Wonderful write on Doormat. You have given importance to doormat using vivid imagery. Concluded very well.. Loved reading it.

What a very clever poem this is, I enjoyed it thoroughly. An ordinary object delegated to a position of honor and respect through your poem, you have indeed given it a loftier place that I had ever thought or conceived of. In retrospect seeing the life of a wife and mother in comparison, uniquely showing the value of both in the end. Great message! Touch of humor beneath the surface totally added to the joy I felt in reading this poem! Give it 100/10's! Thank you for sharing it, loved it! RoseAnn

A lovely insight to an object. You have given life to something so trivial. Well done

Very nice poem with a minute observation being made. There is no imagination but all the facts are scripted here. Thanks a lot for sharing it.

The flight of imagination of the poetess is fantastic as also the grip on the subject matter and it's minutest details. Simply a perfectionist mind-set.

The dusty savior....Such great phrasing. Indeed, we really don't know what we have, what we need, what we rely on....until it's gone, and even if just goes away for just a day. Great poem. Thanks for sharing.

I sit and converse with the door, waiting for the next pair of feet to reign...once again so beautifully and cleverly crafted..I see the co-relation between the doormat and the housewife.. I guess most of Indian stay at home ladies would feel like this including my mom these days with me barely lending a helping hand...hats off

This is a fantastic write Roopa! From the trivial, you have woven such eloquence! Your comparison of a housewife to a door mat is so very apt. You have beautifully and gracefully done the comparison! If we simply say the house wife is like a doormat, there is much indignation and protest hidden in the words! But the image of the uncomplaining door mat that lies waiting for 'another pair of feet to reign' is simply superb! Though a house wife's job is painful, she welcomes it! The final realization that 'I am part of the family and the second focus after the door key' is so relieving and she feels that she is not dumped away but the WELCOME sign is written all over her in red! Simply superb!

Contribution of doormat in keee the house clean is absolutely an outstanding job . The poem takes us to the reality of life. Life without doormat is always full of pains and sorrows... Importance of being a good doormat is much provocative and inspiring. Thanks for sharing.

The poem conveys the message that even an ordinary thing like a mat is very significant and all things small or big are significant

And, such is the life of a doormat! Thanks for for sharing, Roop!

You pick simply ordinary things and create marvels. This time over, it is the doormat in which you have seen things other mortals fail to notice. An extra-ordinary ode indeed!

The lament of a doormat.The concept so well personified. Though stamped and wiped finally quite happy knowing that it is wanted.A good write .keep on writing .Enjoyed reading .
