NOTE: This is surely not meant to be my best. I am posting this for reasons unknown to those not a Senior.
Also, I have an announcement. This will be my last post for quite a while. I feel my poetry has gone down the tubes COMPLETELY. I am completely depressed and dissapointed in all my work and cannot post my work for an unknown period of time. So enjoy this piece!  

Womanly Equal:


I am woman hear me roar!
My actions are justified by gender
And my thoughts simply by me.
You call me 'sweet' and 'cute',
But do not think I'm harmless
For my strength stands strong
And my determination unbreakable.

I am not your inferior nor superior,
But rather an equal part of society.
Stand with me and embrace my womanhood.
Love me for who I am and what I offer
Because you see, I am a woman.
Your friend, your lover, your equal.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Dopey, truthfully I have seen a slight lull in the quality of your poetry. BUT, that doesn't mean they aren't great.They still are. Besides, doesn't it feel good to at least get some feedback about them, even if you don't like the piece.Oh well, why fight the inevitable. Just hurry back.

well, i just joined so I don't know if your poetry has gone down the tubes or if you are only being silly and self-mutilating.  I am a strong anti-feminist, but it was a good poem.  SENIOR  yes I know what its like to be a senior.  :P

Javi,

This may have been a dare, but you do not disappoint me in any way, shape, or form. I am sad that you choose not to post for awhile, I know you'll reply, but I like reading your work, Dopes!
you did a great job on this one. I love the way you portray women to be. "I am woman, hear me roar!!"  
but Javi, there is nothing in this poem that I didn't like. really good job, and I hope and pray to hear from you soon. after all, you will only get better when you try.


I'm just glad that now this rainstorm has ended, and I can see the rainbow once again.

I leave for a month and look whats happenedto you....You turned into a girl...

Okay, seriously now.
I know I know- It was a dare.
And you did an absolute great job, as usual.

And you say this will be your last post for awhile- but it won't be. You love poetry. You enjoy reading it, you enjoy writing it, and you're good at it- whether YOU think so or not...you are.
I really wish you'd reconsider.

Thank you all.......Thank you to those who like my poetry, and thank you those who do not like my poetry. You all make it worth while.

Spice is right.....I do love poetry and I will continue to write and REPLY, but as far as posting my work is concerned I cannot. I feel that I've lost it completely....I need to go on some internal voyage to find a missing piece before I continue to post.
So please, forget about MY POETRY.....as far as I'm concerned it does not exist anymore.

You'll all read some new works eventually...I just, like faterider said, need a break from hearing what people think about my work. I need to concintrate on my work ALONE. Thank you for understanding, and cherish stop whining  

I LOVE YOU ALL AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLIES!!!!

Aww, Dopes.  It's too bad that you're going to stop sharing your work with us.  I enjoy reading your work very much.  You're an extremely talented poet, and I always get excited when there's a post in the forums with your name to it.  I can't wait until you start sharing again, but until then I hope you keep writing.  This poem was awesome!  I loved it... you ROCK, Javi!
