You are my better half
Out of my rib you came
Bullshit, I say

MN, Though I'm not sure i understand the poem completely (and i must remember that you write in India) , I now send this to my next showcase, in July,2021. bri ;)
In my Dec.16th 2016 comment (see below) i MUST have meant to type 'NEVER', not 'EVER'! bri ;)
This poem really is a tribute to all women and how we should be appreciated. Let us never forget that without woman there is no man and without man there be no woman. We need each other and we need to appreciate and respect each other. Thank you for this wonderful poem. Definate 10+
That greyed and died in time................ the moustache died? or was it dyed? Unending procreativity.........ok, this explains what you mean by full. the woman is always pregnant! ! ! ! Men know they can’t be Without you on their left............maybe this thought was how the expression right hand man came about? For you are woman You always forgive................oh, maybe in India. i'm in the U.S. and have been married four times. woman may ignore, they may forget, but i'm not sure they EVER forgive a man! ! ! bri :)
Take it easy Bri. Don't you like to live in peace with them?
my answer to Madathil's question, below: YES, I LIKE TO, but it doesn't always happen! ! ! :) bri
Mother is a guide to her child, Yes sir, women are full, Nice writing.You may please read my poem on ladies and share your experience. Thank you.
Sir, Full men alone will be able to respect woman a full individual. This is my first realisation on reading the poem. It is the lack of confidence of man in himself, that makes him call his wife bharya (the one who is ruled/ controlled/owned) and ardhangini (better half?) . And, of course, the most important strength of woman is her patience (kshama in sanskrit, which also refers to Goddess Earth, justly) . So, the metaphor 'earth' suits woman the best. Thank you for sharing this fantastic poem.10.
What an amazing tribute to women. A woman is always full...such reassuring words for women. As green as the mother earth and lushly filled....splendid verses. This poem has made my day.10plus.
A woman is always full As green as mother earth and lushly filled... nice lines.....10 evn imbalanced mother shall offer same kind of love which w could not believe
Well, truth is, I never ever believe that a woman was only half full; nonetheless, I have to believe God and He says woman was made from one of man's ribs! Thanks for sharing, Madathil R Nair!
A woman is always full As green as mother earth and lushly filled Thanks to the lovely tribute to our race sir. Lovely. Enjoyed reading it. Thanks for your valuable encouragement sir. I invite you to read my latest poem Awaiting miracles...
Fools are they Just forgive For you are woman You always forgive... lovely lines i share...10 o motherr, sisters offer your blessings to all those who have no respect and trust to repose....
The primordial masculine and feminine is represented in our mythology as Shiva and Shakti- the emptiness and energy. So we can see God or a Godess as the source of creation. Divinity goes beyond gender issues. What would Man be without Her? First as an helpless infant without a Mother Or in growing up as a caring Sister Or for that matter a doting wife that matters......... Very good poem Sir, keep your pen busy
Yes, women is the most precious being the creator has ever created, if only her head and heart is governed by Wisdom and not feelings alone. The world will survive in harmony, if only if she teaches her children the ways of love and tolerance which will pave the way For peace, from their tender age.
I like it, but....what were you DRINKING? ? ? ? ;)))) BRI
