I only succeed with Soup Mail via laptops or desktops, my cell delays responses. See soupmail now dear Mo.

Thank you my dear! Yowsers! Who’d a thunk it. I didn’t know I had any poetry left in me to be honest. I thought my muse had run it’s course, trying to get back into visual art. Warm hugs! xomo

Fucking awesome words I have just read!!! I'm happy to see this site bend a bit to allow such intelligent thought. Keep testing the waters Maureen. One day you'll be walking on more than just the meniscus. Oops!!! I am allowed to use the word "fucking" in a comment, Si? I just can write BUT can't post a poem on THIS site that uses the word "fuck"?

Totally misunderstood song Jeff, thanks for pointing that out ;)

Jeff Connelly

OUCH!!! Rape is a bad 4 letter word. I was once censored for using "arse" NOT "ass"... Listen to Nirvana "Rape Me", "... rape me my friend/ Do it and do it again..." Another misunderstood song/poem. Cin Cin Maureen...

Maureen Mcgreavy
Date: 5/9/2022 1:03:00 PM

LOL! Yes, the algorithm censor is only set to scan the poetry not the comments, although someone if offended is entitled to report and I imagine the comment would be deleted. I am sure there are other poetry sites with less restrictions. Rape still isn’t a bad word, which I suppose proves my point. ;), xomo!

Huge Congrats M.! We are women not wombs. I am elated you spoke out, giving birth to intelligent discourse. You've inspired me to give it a go! Happy Mother's Day

Maureen Mcgreavy
Date: 5/8/2022 5:08:00 PM

Thank you so much Anaya. I do hope intelligent discourse comes about, if any at all through my pithy poetic raving and raging I might possibly feel a little less powerless and hopeless in the face of this absurdity. I am thrilled to inspire!!! Happy Mother’s Day to you! xomo

Thank you Lovely! I didn’t know I had it in me, well till it came roaring, clawing, screaming out of me! The contest prompt said “please, put it here”. I am glad I did! xomo <3

I am glad PS had the guts to make this POTD, it is daring to speak the truth when truth is harsh, but that makes it all the more necessary, we need brave voices like yours to be heard right now!

Maureen Mcgreavy
Date: 5/8/2022 10:29:00 AM

Me too, I’m still sorta stunned. Working on my gaining back my fearless self. Thank you Lovely, always. And happy Mother’s Day! xomo <3

Thanks for posting this, Mo, and thanks for returning to Soup. I've missed you. Congratulations on the P.O.T.D. Although I'm not sure I understand the last line, the message overall comes through loudly and clearly. We need this message! Thank you for your courage, too.

Maureen Mcgreavy
Date: 5/8/2022 10:23:00 AM

Thank you Milton! The last line, “fluffing”, as in making appear larger, like fluffing a pillow, fluffing the numbers. I am working on my courage, I don’t think I would have posted without the contest prompt, but this poem demanded I buck up ;), Warm hugs! xomo

Congratulations Mo!! Our best poetry comes from the heart and what we believe in. It seems as though we are going backwards in many things. You have penned a powerful message in just a few lines. Good job!

Maureen Mcgreavy
Date: 5/8/2022 10:18:00 AM

Hello! Thank you dear neighbour! Yeah, I can’t read or write anything if my heart isn’t engaged. I am thrilled to have this message so we’ll received, and doubly so to have it amplified, it comes from every fibre of my being this one. xomo!

Hi Maureen, Don’t apologize; you have penned a good “ wake upcall” poem. If Roe vs Wade get overturned in the US it would be horrifying. Best wishes in the contest. Congratulations on getting the poem of the day. It It was well deserved. Have a nice day:-) Alrxid

Date: 5/8/2022 10:11:00 AM

Thank you so much Alexis. If that craziness slips over the border I will be marching, agoraphobia be damned! ;), You too have a lovely day, and happy Mother’s Day! xomo

Thank you Tom. I haven’t been able to read or write poetry for some time now, not until I got this bee stuck in my bonnet. Take care, xomo

Thank you Jennifer! It is an honour to be heard and amplified when your roar means everything to you for the sake of your entire sisterhood. xomo

Best seen and not heard Super Mo, you now have the right to choose the forest with your hanger, and all will be well, if you don’t bleed to death on the way back, harsh perhaps but the old/new reality for impregnated rape victims, congratulations on potd, one that you felt compelled to write, cheers David

Maureen Mcgreavy
Date: 5/8/2022 9:59:00 AM

The Insolent Rib compelled me. There is a war against women, however quiet it has been these last few decades, make no mistake, it rages on. Thank you, always David. xomo

Very powerful words, in four lines you have express so much, it seems we are going backwards in time. Love this poem.

Maureen Mcgreavy
Date: 5/7/2022 6:51:00 PM

Thank you Lovely! This one’s a bit harsh even for me, I’m not sure I would have posted it without the contest prompt. It was already there, burning for it. xomo!

Please ask your sister to explain why Texan taxpayers are so willing to fund $10,000 per Rat, but not one penny toward free daycare for mentally/physically- challenged and foster-care children born in Texas?

Maureen Mcgreavy

He would too LOL, oh ;p xomo!

That title is just the way Trump thinks too - I am glad I live in a state that protects women's rights!

Maureen Mcgreavy
Date: 5/6/2022 5:50:00 PM

I am glad you live in a state that protects women’s rights! My sister lives in Texas, but fortunately she’s raising boys. I’ve been mulling on this one for days and didn’t plan to post but then I saw this contest… how could I not?! xomo
