All Comments on 'Centerpiece'

"Look pretty and be the cliché" Fortunately, your poem isn't cliche. :)

Did you write this about my mom? That is the way she tried to raise us...and I turned out to be such a disappointment. ha! ;)

Great piece you've got here.

I just wonder how many women around the world are so aptly described by your poem. Lots and lots, I'm sure.

very very nice. i have missed reading you. sg

Or have not disappeared as we wished they would. Nothing is linear whatever was won could be lost again. I am a man but it frustrates me so much. Taking things for granted.

The purchasers owners maintainers of the “centerpieces” will always be there, craving to expend their purchases when the ‘old ones’ become boring, and when they feel that they can, and when women like center piece here feel (silence inside silence outside) that they can’t do any thing else but wait. You crush us with the catalog of the expected emotional and physical services. It grows to include not only her activities but her appearance and her body. Totally surrounded and immersed in all these roles – she is totally trapped.

However, your poem's subject makes me sad. Women, wife, girlfriend, partner—they are more than someone pretty to look at, you can touch them too. And I don't just mean physically, I mean emotionally and spiritually too.

Thanks Duckie, this a very good poem.

Yuck! Just to think that there are pseudo-men who consider this the perfect wife. In this scenario the dog gets a higher degree of attention.

you really need to learn how to form an opinion.... lol

love you. sg
