ONE To STEVE W this person is no longer on PoemHunter, and he wrote a comment but this Steve W is not to be reached for further conversations/explanations: so I am saying this to you, Steve W, that I read her BIO,
Too many people jump to conclusions on here. The poet was a university professor, not some downtrodden person. Famous and successful. Read the bio.
Your footsteps! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
In greatest difference with our women's world, the poetess lived and loved in a traditional male's society, where women have no rights. Horrible must this be. Many women died a premature death, I reckon. Saddest poem I ever read about not being free as a soul must be. More tears are flown mine side while reading these words, but most beautifully worded, saddest deep inside. CONGRATULATIONS on This MODERN Poem of The DAY. Most beautifully worded.
A song spilled deep from the heart. Flow is amazing. Enjoyed.
So touching, moving, heartbreaking and stirring it is and so stunningly expressed the things prevalent then...... simply outstanding.......thanks for sharing
TWO , she was a professor and excellently educated, BUT she did the task of a good poetess and she KNOWS what is going on in tha Arabic society, so she regarded this as her DUTY to create this poem. Yes she WAS that smart. We do never jump into conclusions, but PLEASE READ HER POEM as it ought to be read. THANK YOU.
