I never get far - Fido never lets me have anything \'erotic\'! heehee.
I should get my coat and get out more, as they say - but not to give Fido extra walkies!

This is like the story of my life. Needless to say, we raised a few girls. Three, in fact. The one line that hit me the most, \"or laying the blame on innocent brothers.\" He was the only boy and got blamed for everything. They blamed him sometimes when he wasn\'t present.
A very thorough depiction of life trying to raise \'Girls.\" BUT- You\'ve got to love them though. Yeah, they do wrap Daddy round their little fingers. Enjoyed it immensely. - Phil A.

Aww, why little boys made of slugs and snails and puppy-dog tails, and girls all sweetness and light?! lol.

I often watch blackbirds and starlings in my garden gathering food to feed their offspring Fay, it is great to see.

We currently have a nest of doves, living on the underside carrier beam for our elevated deck/patio. We are therefore confined to front door use only. Can watch them from inside through basement window. It\'s an amazing treat to see the parent Doves constantly going back and forth between feeding and searching for food. I told my wife, \"That\'s what we looked like when we had four kids.\"
Thanks for the capture of their efforts to survive. this is the second year they have nested here. If it is, in fact, the same pair. A lovely poem that reflects on Nature\'s constant struggles. Loved it. - Phil A.

Blackbirds are the most engaging and intelligent creatures, a marvel to watch. Your description brings this wonderful scene to life. Beautifully written!

Yes the maternal (and in occasional instances paternal) care and regard displayed for offspring in the avian world is is heartwarming, Fay. And to use your term, made even more endearing by the shape and colour of your piece here .

Oh, dear poet as I read this poem, and think of the plight of so many women all over this world, I can\'t help but weep. I see the strength and courage of those who will not be subjugated, and their determination is unmatched. They not only fight for themselves, but for all women. I not only applaud your words, but your commitment to speak truth. This is such a favorite!

Women are half of the world but possess about one percent of the power in the world. By power I mean in all phases of living. Half the women in the world do not know what it is to be free.
A well written poem that explores this issue in a unique style. Let\'s hope the free women of the world can actually bring about the necessary change of which you speak. The world would be a better place if it happens. I was impressed by the style used to explore the point of this poem, \"Inward, Outward\". It tries to explain some of the rationale that forces these women into subjugation. Let\'s hope they rise up and take control. - Phil A.

Let’s make it clear: this is one of the strongest and straightforward statements of why feminists are motivated to be feminists I’ve happened upon in a long while.
Good for you, Fay.

If on the words alone I must comment, then you know I think you have a mastery over them, as they mesmerize the reader.
If on the subject I am allowed to comment, then everyone who sits in silence is equally guilty of such heinous acts.

People change with time and can find that they hardly recognize themselves. This can cause friction in a relationship. It becomes like a new courtship and hopefully ends well.
You have captured this happening is the most delightful way. I think your last stanza sums it up most aptly, in that \"together-reality.\" A lovely poem, Fay.- Phil A.
