Superb Deepak, just superb. How right you are! Just another fine example of your wonderful poetry. Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility. -William Wordsworth- |

Wow, this sounded almost biblical. And how great that you have the awareness of how wonderful we women are.  Superb writing as usual.. |

She is the words that give life to our poems. She is the poet that gives hope to our lives. Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

Yes, this is truly brilliant. Women's creative power and her role as mother and muse have inspired men throughout the centuries. You express this admiration perfectly here. On the subject of constancy I have to add my favourite quote about this: “Nothing is more constant than inconstancy itself” said by Baldanders in Grimmelshausen’s Simplicius Simplicissimus.  Lotharingia "For God's sake, he's a poet. Poets are meant to feel miserable. Otherwise, what the hell are they here for? What are they going to write about?" Tom Holland |

I am awestricken.....This is wonderful and , by me at least, so appriciated!! Seems that most of the time we/ women are seen as nothing more than objects, it is wonderful to see that there are some who see us as so much more!!! For this I thank you. I will make it a point to have my husband read this...for he too is one that sees women as so much more and I know he will too appriciate your words!! "There is an alter ego which dwells in every soul..." a-alibaster "I am as I am, nothing more, nothing less, I am tears of pain, tears of Death. |

Thank you all for your comments - In fact one can write volumes about women - and by volumes I mean volumes of wonderful things, and if I resisted the temptation to go amok in their praise - it was because even volumes would be as insufficient as this little poem. Bows to all the wonderful women who make this planet a place fitting for us to live in! Deepak |
