Those thoughts \'falling between the flipper\' become far more frequent with age MEM.
We all have so many thoughts in our life and hopefully the important ones are fulfilled.

I get this completely, those thoughts are slippery little buggers aren\'t they?
I don\'t even see them as coming from me - they are just something the brain churns out. I mostly relax and let them go, as retention takes too much energy. An occasional one might get communicated - a poem perhaps? But mostly.....

an impressive style and flow, there\'s a lulling theme to your word choices that makes these insightful observations, unassuming
at first read, and especially like how you used a single image and wrapped your poetry around it, in layers..
a poem worth revisiting from time to time, for sure
thank you for choosing to share, dear poet

lol. I\'ve now recovered from some kind of brain fever induced by your piece.
You have just activated a very vague memory (it was, after all a very long time ago) when I may have had a mindset something like that....but I (shortly after and now) press on remorseless........

What is a Woman
L. B. Mek said:
that first stanza, exemplified it best
how - the ladies in our lives
have to overcome a lot \'No\'s\', in life
although, what\'s truly wondrous
is how \'They\' find a way, to make those No\'s
a chorus: in their own, battle song...
(an empowering message
thanks for sharing)

Well you cracked that one, M - thanks for fulfilling that promise.

What is a Woman

I offer a wish that such freedom were there for every woman. Sadly, in our world there are societies and religions which forbid freedom for the female of our species. This is disgusting to the emancipated western mind.

those who understand will appreciate
the depths of your Poetry\'s brevity;
and those who don\'t, will bark
their snarky comments, to hide
their ignorance fuelled: incompetence...

Should ultimately a woman be judged by different standards?
How and why?

what an impactful image
reminds me of stencil art
\'gold plated\' - printed, over a watercolour
spot painting, or
pointillism technique, utilised to accentuate
a serenade to all-things, Blue and overwhelming...
and still, the unique voice of your poem
is pronounced loud:
\'like a penguin,
She keeps her birch roots grounded.
surround by white roses\'..
(a wonderfully poetic experience
you\'ve Curated, thank you for sharing)

L. B. Mek said:
firstly, I agree with Dusk
I too, couldn\'t find the contextual correlation
between your words and the painting/picture..
but that\'s truly meaningless, in this case
because I found your writing, a stand alone
immersive read of insightfully nuanced artistry:
\'A new day appears, repeating
a cycle of anger and hatred.
Rain
Fog
Bruised
This time it can take no more.
Holding on by a single thread,
the sky takes a breath.\'
such a joy to read, dear poet
thank you for choosing to share

Paintings provided by Dulux colour swashes? There\'s far more depth in your poem than in those pictures. My eye.

what a wonderful read
really liked the drop down, unveiling format
both for its metaphorical insight
and its natural poetic flow,
thank you for sharing, dear poet
(sadly until I listen to the song, eventually
I know little of the context or meaning behind it
but I\'m hopeful
the message is a seemingly positive one)
might be worthwhile to include a link
so future (lazy) readers like me
can quickly gain an appreciation for your write
inclusive of its meaningful context
especially, the numerical references
