Notes About The Poem

This was an idea for contest but I failed as I can't get the format

 

 

Woven World of Women

Woven worlds of women
Stitched together by pleasure and pain
Colorful quilting language 
But at the core the subject the same
How to make something from nothing
How to surf the teal tides of life
How to get lost in need
Of solitude and be free without losing mind
Woven worlds of women
Giving birth to nations
Nurturing despite womb empty
Or full of babies a celebration 
Stringing along the men
In a temporary dress that will disappear 
Becoming an apron a coat of hope
A chameleon facing fuchsia fear
Not needing a gun using eyes to shoot
Down denial of choice and voice 
This woven world is a fabric of life
Where men and women must unite
To create and save life

You have portrayed women as powerful, but not without fear. She is capable of swimming the teal tides of life. Your concluding lines state a universal truth- like the warp and woof of a fabric, the united strength of men and women is needed to build a better world. Beautiful poem dear Karen.
