I like what you're saying here; women being equal to men doesn't mean we should act like men. And the phrasing and diction in this is very beautifully done. I like the idea of a woman of lace and wood; very original. Nicely done. Keep writing! :)

love what youre saying and couldnt agree more completely...you should read...Herland...pretty good book that expresses these views. men are men and women are women. the difference should be acknowledged and celebrated. each having strengths and weaknesses. your woman of lace and wood sounds like a thing to aspire to. unfortunately i dont think the world has that in store anytime soon. *shrug* alas...

Sorry about that. I meant "on all I have known" Stupid typos.

Your poem is really powerful. I like it. No, I love it. It's like what I want to say but much better.

Ahh. You have written the first free verse poem that I have been able to read and enjoy immensley. You win, m'lady. Smooth, free, easy to swallow. Beautifully placed repetitive phrasing. I love it, I love it. I also care for the message. It's one I hadn't thought of, but now that it is laid out so nicely (and capped off with an excellent title), I very much appreciate the idea.
