We women feel trapped doing those chores sometimes for sure that clothes line or the clothes hung upon it will not listen, speak back nor understand..I hope this is just creative writing and not some very deep feelings put out on the line..Thanks for the visits to my page..Your presence is appreciated..Sara

The imagery is so dark, Eve. But it's very good. That senryu, the last line of it is brilliant, clothesline of deaf ears!! wow.

I feel there is pain in your heart. Piranhas in a pond will only bring death..Hugs, dear.

Very intriguing write my friend...I would hate to see Hades as this school of piranhas, so frightening indeed! But you have illustriously portrayed this poem with all the fine skills that you have been blessed with! I really enjoyed reading your grandiose piece this morning! You have masterfully written a tremendous poem, Great Work!!
