Delightful and meaningful too. Line 5 should read: A woman is an Just for the record, our dog loves my wife as a mother, a companion, yes, even a saint. Maybe a lion would be a better beast of prey.

Dear Mishra, Can we think as follows? For a lust A woman is a Lump of flesh to rape! For dogs A woman is a Mistress to caress! For a saint A woman is his own Mother to worship! V.K.Kanniappan

your poem definitely needs two readings. when i first read your poem, i thought h'mmm, very mysogonistic. on my 2nd reading i realised you were contrasting what a woman could represent to 3 different existences. very simple & clever! ! 👍

The poem written by a poet is the reflection of society, but YOUR POEM does not reflect that, instead your poem lowers a woman’s level/position. LEARN how to appreciate an ordinary woman.
