The true heart of a woman ... yes, a true woman.
I can make your day
or break your heart" are the lines which are captivating for me. I think it depends upon the personality of the man, huh! So don't dare to tease a woman. LOL.
Like it, Frieda. I salute this piece for women like us!
I love it when poetry feels empowering. And might I just say, you make me proud to be a woman. Yes we are fragile...but if provoked, we can be as strong as any man. There's so many woman out there that need to read this. The news gets depressing these days...all the rapes...beatings...insecure men trying to throw their strength around as if on some sort of power trip. We are like gardens...tend to us...and in return, we will sustain you through love and support.

Greatest and truest description of a woman I have ever read.
Women are warriors. We are loud and silent at the same time. We are fragile, but we never break. It is said that men are stronger than women. I beg to differ. I believe that the same reason that they use to describe us as weak (our emotions) is exactly why we are so strong. We are emotional, and even though we feel so much and so many things affect us, we still rise every morning with our heads held high, stronger than ever. Excellent poem, Frieda!

I wouldn't want to be a fly on the wall...if I was a woman, maybe :P
Your poem so beautifully describes what it is to be a women, Frieda. Strong and sturdy, soft and flexible. We support them and bend to them. Well, your poem says it all so much more poetically than I can. You are a very talented poetess and I enjoy reading you work very much.

You're too kind Joyce, you humble me, thanks so much my friend.
You are all of these things and more...and though I do not know you in "real life", I can imagine you this way through your writing. It is always amazing to me how well we can get to know one another through our poetic voices. It is a beautiful thing. Well done, Frieda.
