Click hereHer flesh craves sunlight, moonlight
and air, yet man as if on a mission
seeks to restrain the breasts of his women;
Mothers and daughters repressed yet today.
His aim is to capture and imprison
in cups and with wires, nature’s way
of attracting a mate and feeding his young.
But there are women empowered
by independence of body and mind
whether it be by flaw or intelligent design,
who choose to let their breasts hang loose.
But tyrants remain who possess
scars of intolerance and being blind
cannot see beauty in innocence.
And lost upon them is joy in the bounce
of flesh subtly bared and hidden
beneath a layer of cotton, silk or satin;
Such freedom has been forbidden.
for my daughters

Anonymousabout 13 years agoVery insightful and well written poem. 5
I as a man… included within those that may, or may not agree, is of little consequence. What is important here, is that this freedom is a right of any or all women to express or not express as they see fit, and to be forced to conform to what may be known as the ‘socially accepted norm’ is a travesty in its self..
However, I do believe that, because of changing times and social perceptions, most men would agree that, rather than look upon those women who are uncomfortably bound by restraining apparel, they would prefer to look upon the sensual movements of a woman who does not put up with such confinements.
But of course, this is only my point of view.
Sincerely,

GuiltyPleasureover 13 years ago...congratulations on the red H - now, even if it goes pooofff you know it WAS there! :-)
Next - I love the strength here. Line 1 in the
4th verse might read better if "claim" replaced "possess".
Bras are my nemesis too. Men should never be allowed to design bras OR kitchen appliances.

twelveooneover 13 years agoHey, comments on. So, second time, shorter title - change, needs a little more balance, title would be easiest. I told you a 5.
UnderYourSpellover 13 years agoI actually like this and see where you are coming from but no matter if those boobies are pert or not going braless has unfortunate consequences in later life as they head inevitably southwards!
PoetGuyover 13 years agowhich he thinks keeps the poem a bit distant for him, but well done. Poet Gal detests bras and only wears them to work, so Poet Guy can relate to the sentiment.
vrosej10over 13 years agoFrom someone with enormous breasts and who grew up a bit of hippy, I am feeling you. I miss being able to go braless and I have friend with little perky boobs who don't do. It seems like a waste to me.
Angelineover 13 years agoI commented but it didn't show up! I think this is intensely personal and yet universal. The second strophe is especially good. I'd change the first line of the last strophe to make it active instead of passive. But mainly it's great to see you submitting a poem here again. :-)
Angelineover 13 years agoThe writing is beautiful. I expecially like that second strophe. It's painfully good. I don't like "and lost upon them..." as it's too passive, but maybe that's the point. I would've said "The joy is lost upon them in the bounce..." But mainly it is wonderful to see you writing here again. :)
