If for a younger look
to meet pressured demands
considered risks at hand
for a novel nook

The spirit of youth gives way
sagged twined glands do sway
then there are the thin with minute breasts
who look for an advantage from all the rest.

An implant for a brighter self esteem
for a profile of mammalian abundance
expressed relevance not redundance
and identified with the female team....

To be more voluptuous and desired
well cleavaged and admired
for the stress is on the look
breast postings have women hooked.

My discourse leaves me to stem the banal
in respect of those who'd prefer the natural
media attention could bave been fixed on the elbow
not the breast
but how so, for a part of the body that nutures
all the rest.

My discourse leaves me to respect a woman's decision
to take on new postures and gain recognition
but how much of what's decided is really up to her
when glossies portray starlets with breasts to stir...

how sad...
natural is always best, but then there are those of us, who could use reducing, what nature gave, it just depends, and should be entirely up to the woman.....

It's sad when the images provided by the media outweigh all other considerations,for instance the media never discusses the inherent problems of too large breasts causing back pain or re-aligning the sense of balance. Give me natural anyday.

this is a very personal thing to a woman, especailly when they start to droop and fall off the page, so to speak, if she wants to fix it up a bit, thats her business,  so as a man, tho you are speaking from your own opinion, here is why some of us do what we do to fix it up a bit......
and to quote from my friend john once again

    *******
"Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave of the slaves
Ah, yeah...better scream about it

We make her bear and raise our children
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen
We tell her home is the only place she should be
Then we complain that she's too unworldly to be our friend "

its  how women start to get effaced and erased as they age and loose it a bit.....
good poem tho...made me think

It is sad how a woman's opinion of herself can be so affected by what the media portrays...Is the love a fine woman based on such a physical thing or would a man love to be honestly loved by a person who may or may not be what the world says is present day beauty?.....As I age, physical appearance means less and less to me and I find myself more draw to real people who have a love of life....Well written poem about a tender subject.

what struck me on a special about women's breasts is the effect by the media and the consequent upsurge in breast transplants over the past few decades. It's always up to women to decide naturally, but I wonder how much of that decision is really her own in the end...how much is sheer influence.Thanks all for sharing.

and what about you, as a man,would you opt for augmentation if you could
and what about women who lose breasts to cancer, dont they have the right to get replacemnt surgury if they seek it?
this made me think more than i wanted to, thanks

You've got to read this for what it says for art's sake, or to communicate ideas. The anquish one feels comes from ones own personal experiences which are not always pretty. That's why I write poetry; it doesn't always make people feel good, it's written for people to think though.As far as topics go I will write something concerning male issues too, you can be sure.

It's a shame that many women feel pressured to live up to the standard's of society.I am who God intended me to be and am happy with what I see.I'm not the image of the media, but the image of myself that shows in my heart and not in my body.I wish more women could see their true beauty lies within the heart and soul.Well penned here.

Well said Crystal, too many people look at the outer trappings without seeing what's on the inside.
