I Was Told To Drop Dead Comments

Leila, this is my first time reading your work. And it won't be my last! I love every thing about this poem. The imagery is so vivid and exquisite. The historical references show the depth of your knowledge. An outstanding write! And such a pleasure to read!

Very creative and well crafted. Thanks for sharing such an original piece. I lovel it.

A wonderful manifestation of a woman's power. I love the feminist feel of this poem. Your use of language is simply awesome. And the literary n historical references make it a very classy read.

Your title captured my imagination as well as my dramatic side. These images of a powerful woman with no limits, who can extract a uterus from the moon and breastfeed monstrous dogs....is awesome! A true feminist manifest. I love it. No simpleton better tell Leila Samarrai to drop dead...or at least the speaker in this poem.

Such ornate indignation... This will stick to me for a while.

Caesar, a heart with twelve ventricles I – who breastfed Romulus and Remus I – who murdered Caligula during Palatean games lupine rock, furious brain, maddened dervishes, Samara... All these give a great impression how you have read profusely. very rich with such allusions. thank you dear Poetess. tony

I have read a number of your poems and this one really resonated with me. Your strength of conviction in the words you use is brave. Each sentence used has a culmination of purpose and direction to any sentence within the poem. Very strong, well done

I've read a number of your poems and this one resonates with me. Great conviction of words and a bravery in there use. Every sentence brings a culmination, well done
