A poem for women who worry? From a guy's perspective?

Who are you seeking to impress?

Everything looks good on you

The real you

The natural you

Why make a fuss?

You are perfection



In this garden

Who makes the flowers?

Must they all be the same?

For if they were

Would a rose differ from chrysanthemums?

A carnation from a daisy?

You are a sunflower

And your seeds are delicate.



Let not the day end

Where your petals fall like tears

Your womanhood bears the fruit of nations

Generations have come from within thee

Bear not any further pain Mother

Stand proud

Be admired

You are beautiful

Thanks for making me smile today! My day has been really hard! It was good to smile! You always write such wonderful poetry! May the Lord bless you!
Reply:It's a relief to read a poem like this from a man. One minor suggestion: I would change "thee" to "you," since this is the only word in your poem no longer used in Standard English.

Reply:I loved your poem until I got to

Bear not any further pain Mother



That line reminded me of some Victorian melodrama



leave off 'Mother' and it's much better



I agree with previous reviewer - I don't like 'Stand proud' either.

Reply:That is an Awesome Poem !! Thanks for honoring Women. We do tend to get caught up in what we ware and how we good we are looking. Being a women is so much More than That. And you made that point beautifully. God Bless

Reply:mmmm nice! Your poem makes me feel good Thank you !
Reply:Verily! This is indeed a wonderful celebration of women at large. Thank you. =)
Reply:Wow! I love this! Flowers can be a pretty hackneyed symbol in poetry, (we have 17th century poets to thank for that) but you worked it very well.

You touched a significant point beautifully. As a woman who shares the tendencies described in your poem, it also enlightened me. The entire goal of poetry, other than freeing the authors own personal thoughts, is to effect an audience in a way that they learn from the poem. You have achieved this.

The last three lines could use some strengthening. "stand proud"; perhaps you could redraw the vision of the sunflower as an example.

Overall, I adore this poem.
Reply:its a good one dude
Reply:All women should have a man like you around because we tend to see what are men see in us. I'm a fortunate one with a husband who loves me no matter what and has told me so for the past 9 years, but there are some who do not get the respect and love they deserve. Keep spreading your word and maybe more men and women will learn to appreciate each other and themselves for who they are. Beautiful poem, BTW :)
Reply:sweet but u cant tell me something i dont already know..i am beuatiful
Reply:Excellent poem!



When I get depressed about not having the "perfect" body, I try to think about all the different organs and systems, and how well they work to keep me alive and healthy. And the fact that I've actually made (okay, maybe I just "cooked" them) little people is amazing!



We all need a reminder now and then, though. : )
Reply:Ah, my friend, this is very good; it reminds me of Langston Hughes's poem, "No Images":



"....if only she could see how beautiful she is....

but dishwater holds no images....."
Reply:wow that's so sensitive. I wrote a poem as well:



There once was a fellow McSweeny

Who spilled some gin on his weenie

Just to be couth

He added vermouth

Then slipped his girlfriend a martini
