Dear Don, your mind is fine. These verses are just out of the blue! Only by being inside my messed up head you would understand! It is simply a fragment of an angst filled day. Thanks though, I quite like these slanted rhymes?

Lisa D, your comment made me laugh out loud. Thanks for reading and sharing your beautiful sense of humor. I thought about deleting this poem a few times, but I’m glad I didn’t because your comment, while funny reveals a deeper truth. No less than five guys I know came to mind as I wrote this poem including my estranged husband! I don’t understand love that is only skin deep. I suppose it is more about fears and insecurities.

Thank you, Tom, for leaving those kind words on my post about coffee. The autoreader function says 'hot beverage' on the emoji and it adds a bit of digital-millennial feel to the reading, Good for a laugh in the least. ?

An interesting poem which assails many people in a world which causes us to be very peripatetic. The old adage says that the home is where the heart is. Some search for a spiritual home and others never find home because there was no home in the first place. I now live sixty miles from where I was born 70 years ago and I know I am home.
A very good poem. Well done and thanks
Keith

Just in case you can’t see it on my picture

I am a girl

I am a girl,
Men thought they did more work,
They had to hunt,
They had to lurk,
But they weren’t told how to speak,
Or how to dress,
Nor did they need to shout to be heard,
They don’t know what it’s like to be a girl.

I am a girl,
Women’s rights are vital,
We couldn’t vote or leave the house,
Women cleaned, cooked but no appreciation,
Ask Rosa, Coco, Beyoncé too,
Ask Wangari, Malayla, even Florence,
They helped with this,
So thank them,
Or we could not vote, have tutors or even go to school,
I am a girl and you might be too.

I am a girl,
We now can play football, basketball, hockey as well,
We vote, learn, run for president and have tutors,
I am a girl and I’m proud to be too,
I am a girl,
I am a girl,
I am a woman.
