Val, Life is so crazy. It took God or whoever so much effort to put us here that then making it temporary doesn't make much sese. Anyway it is a very short lease whether 10 years or one hundred. I just keep reminding myself that everyday is a blessing. I hope you can work your way back to a better place. Dick

Val, I have been too busy with work to spend time with poetry but I just reviewed your list amazed at the volume of poems you produce. But more importantly, I can't find one I don't like. Glad to see you are still so productive. I did finally send in a new one today. Dick

HI again Dick, thought you were off the radar! Thank you for looking in again, but I am far from productive. I no longer write, my Muse has packed her bags and left. Still in a bad place ft er losing my husband. But am pleased you have resumed, have read your latest, great as always, but do I detect a note of wistfulness. Keep well. Val

Another great write, Valerie. Humorous, yet many a true word spoken in jest. Even in this day and age women, in some cultures, are still looked upon as second class citizens.

great poem dear Valerie.i think its not for the fun.that s a truth.women deserve to stand even higher than men.they can be like ISIS. the world dont forget those great women like Marie Curie or... maybe its not accepted in some old traditional culturs or religions but i think God has created all people equally. this poem is a contrast of silhouette dismay in chauvinist societies.~nb

Depending on which part of the world we may live this poem has much truth and value, male chauvinism once in fashion, now I see on the decline, at least where I live. Well written and the point well taken, even if it was for fun.....

It's a tragedy, that still women have to stay in this male-dominated world and have to claim for their right..I can just say- - -How long O Lord, how long? Wonderful poem Val, well-constructed, nicely rhymed, powerfully woven with the thought.
