A Woman Poem by Valsa George

[...]How empty is a man’s life Who hasn’t known a woman, [...] Unfortunately, most of us men, are not at all interested in 'knowing' a woman, but more like knowing what our and our society's idea of what a woman is and/or should be.. Your poem reminds me of de Beauvoir and the likes of French Feminists who argued about the masquarade of the feminine values.. I wish men and WOMEN actually understoof women better, for it is no surprise that both men and surprisingly (to my knowledge) many women are actually strong supporters of Patriarchal values and are sheer misogynists... Thank you for this beautiful poem ma'am...

A breathing portrait of a woman who fascinates the world with her physical beauty and with all her stellar roles she plays at various stages of her life. Very nicely essayed. Thanks for sharing the poem, Valsa ji. I would like to quote a few lines: A figure of curvaceous ups and downs / God’s beautiful calligraphy / Eyes reflecting love and gentleness / Voice musical and sweet

I found a heart touching description on woman here so nicely and wisely presented. A woman is really .......A loving daughter to her parents An adorable mate to her man A forgiving mother to all The fountain spring of new life The lovely mother to her children! Wise diction. Thanks for sharing.....10

Women have been an important part of my life. My mother was a role model, my friends are glorious, my daughters are wonders. Beautiful and desirable, equal and special. To just touch a soft hand, while engaging a soft heart is a man's delight

A woman is worthy of adulation. Nice work.

A lovely penning about the exquisite creation of a woman by God. But as I believe that God also had no other way beside creating this woman, since that person also had no such impetus to move ahead. As we know that greatest creations come out at the point of big hindrance only. Hence to me woman is a big surprise to God also...... very commanding write. However, long back I wrote a poem An amazing sculpture (with a diff, perspective and surprise but with some similarity also) may read and tell me.

Is there a man not knowing a woman either as sister or love or as the great mother? If there is any, the girls will not leave him undisturbed. She sparks his heart and makes him mad. If she doesn't like him, she calls him 'brother' and fools him to be listless in life. The poetess has chiseled out a model she likes. That is wonderful. The society may be patriarchal or matriarchal. The springs of emotions of love of all kinds will not be going dry.

I wish If I could write such an amazing poem on a woman. Valsa is wonderful.......................10

I like the image of Woman as the achievement of the Greatest Artist of all, GOD, whose calligraphy shaped Woman's form. And this form is both an exterior beauty which is easy to see and grasp and an interior beauty which is often overlooked, which disparages God's calligraphy. This poem really touches a nerve. I read all of the comments below and every one is a personal encounter with your poem and the theme of Womanhood. Our modern urban secular societies give women so many mixed signals, it's confusion and ignorance. but your poem exalts woman's traditional beauty and summons us, women and men alike, to celebrate that presence in the world.
