Maureen, If only I could be a woman for just one day...I would enjoy great sex with myself (lmao) and know all about the great secrets and myths of woman, than return to a man and finally understand what you woman all know. Great write. XOCM

Hi Maureen: As the father of 3 daughters I can readily agree that all women have secrets and myths that make them more unique than men. Bravo!

Whenever I read one of your poems, I always get the feeling it's twice, three times as long as it actually is. This one is no exception. You're a master poet-ventriloquist, Maureen :)

Maureen, me being a fan of movies, I can see a film noir/horror film in your words. The heroine trying to escape the myths, but since a secret, no one tells her everything IS her.

...and with that, The Snake Pit comes to mind ;) cool & thank you!
