P.S. Did you do all of the dishes aka wash them today? DON'T FORGET TO CLEAN ALL YOUR FLOORS, CEILINGS & WALLS ALSO! ! ! THEN MOW THE LAWN, WATER THE GARDEN & BUY GROCERIES! ! ! !
This is a GREAT POEM, but I'd use 'really', not 'real' as your poem's last word. : ) bri
(I don't know why I only gave 3 1/2 stars before now. I tried to give it five ***** today, but, alas, PH does not allow a rating change.: ((( so I voted it a FAVORITE today, as I noticed you also did according to Notifications. : ) bri Forgive me? ? ?
dear Bharati, I reread the poem and looked at my old comment(s) and now I answer your reply to my comment: (
PART TWO--no matter how clean you get that dirty plate, it will not improve the world ---so WRITE ON, my friend, WRITE ON--- cuz you are a capital I in the world and in our eyes here at PH
so---you write strong, heart-stirring, mind-stretching and lovely poetry that the world needs to hear and is benefited by hearing---
oh, let me make this loud and clear---yes you live with a small i because you have a lovely charming sense of 'humility' in a God-loving sense but girl, we see you as a great big I in PoemHunters! ! !
Hi Susan Williams, your words are so powerful and so encouraging! I feel really grateful to have such friends like you.
Your are your Lord. the 'I' in you. Nice poem on the general plight of the average Indian woman on self respect

I totally agree with the thoughtful comment of Indira madam. It's worthy poem that needs profound speculation dear poetess. A poem of value and substance.
Of course she is Japanese, not Indian. But I love her anyway. bri ;)
My wife could write poetry in the dust (with her finger) on the piano here at home. Or she could scratch it with a spoon in the layer of black at the bottom of the curry pot after serving me. : ))))))))))))
Thank you Bri for your multiple comments.But I don't understand why you gave 3 and half stars.
I hereby grant you 3 1/2, call it 4, stars, AND I also grant you 10, call it 15, minutes of 'free time' twice a day for writing, IF chores are done by day's end. ;)
I esp./especially like the lines: 'I am i, a small i Still I am i'. But I'd like 'really' instead of 'real' to close poem. : )
p.s. I loved your use of 'little i'. That was/is brilliant....like ME. bri : )
