Depth Of A Woman Poem by Courtney Kane

This is a lovely thought, Courtney. I have only one criticism. Your first line states 'there is a depth in me that is much like the sea' yet you did not go on and support the simile. You showed that you were wrong, you gave the motivation for strength (your son and daughter) but you didn't really show us how your depth is like the sea. Raynette

l like your poem, it gives the feeling of honour, and strength. Interesting way, you have styled your words.

I like the way you made everyone before you was as important as the ones after...good job!

Wise and keen. I can only look to a poem like this for guidance.

beautiful poem thanks for sharing.

Hi Courtney! I have a similar request as Anna below. We would like to know the possibility of licensing or commissioning your work. Please contact me at greg at yardnyc dot com. Thanks!

Courtney, my women's chorus is commissioning a choral piece, and the composer is interested in working with Depth of a Woman. We need your permission, though, and VERY quickly- like by Friday (December 15,2017) . You can reach me at amspeicher[at]northpark.edu.

A poignant introspection! Excellent.

Well done this is a really nice poem. Well done to all the powerfull and deep women out there! I hope to become one x-x-x

This is a particularly beautiful poem. The use of occassional rhyme works very well. The idea of the poem is great, I wonder if the sea simile could not be exorcised in favour of something else that suggests, profoundness.
