Seems a lot more to this poem than the writing actually lets on, hope it is not self inspired.
Good write up mind.

I think the final three segments are so powerful and a good twist to the poem.
Really enjoyed it.
Keep \'em coming!!

Hi Cordelia Your words are expressive - very deeply rooted-driven-(Her- a powerful imagery of a woman made strong- no matter the situation- She-who will be strong-by taking matters into own hand- gives way to a woman- who is capable- given identity!...Thank you for sharing! regards Mike

I love the way the layout is of this poem. You make me want to try this too!!The picture changes the meaning of the poem for me completely. I read it first, then looked at the picture for awhile and then read it again. I really like visual poetry.Could you comment on how the picture relates to your poem for you and why you chose it? Kudos and Bravo,Mr. Monkey

Originally, the image I had was a single lily, but it was just cut-n-pasted onto a word doc and looked pretty shoddy. Over the summer, I came across this figurine at a friend\'s house and played with the angles. I\'m always reworking old poems, either with wording or images.I chose this image over another flower because I was struck by her expression and the \"Lady Liberty\" feel and support it lent my words. I had a lot of fun playing with the image, fading half of her out with extra lighting - is she disappearing or reemerging?
