she...
a pregnant lady
sat there to paint
her infant
let it be a 'he' she thought
let it have his nose
let it have his smile
his chin and dimple
the love in her for him
drew the colors to paint
she...
never knew then
it was a 'her' in her
it did have his nose
his smile
his chin and dimple
the love in her for him
gave his form to it
only...
she had made him a 'her'
within her
i dont know sam, if u are right in saying that every expectant mother wants to have a' he' as a baby.it is more out of the familial pressure to have a baby boy.i think that every woman in the heart of hearts knows that a daughter is her best friend.she is the closest one to her after she leaves her parents house.infact God created daughters so that a woman has her best friend out of her parent's house.but yes, the poem gives a lot of food for thought.................thanks for sharing, buddy.
You make it sound so complicated. We were always proud of the he or she as long as it were healthy it didn't matter. A good thought and a good write. Your Friend Lynn
A wishful thinking of the pregnant lady comes out naturally.
good...i rate this one high, higher than many you posted recently...an artful write...poets must be able to tell an ordinary thing differently...like this...thanks...10

very beautiful poem It is the thought of an average indian woman carrying her she longs for him marginalisation starts even before birth. Whom to blame? ? ? regards sandhya
I am tired of writing 'excellent'. 'well penned', 'wow poem' 'thoughtful' its so cliche...especially when it comes to poets like you All your poem are exceptional...need I to write and say good about them? Me of all the people in the word? Nah..I am far too amazed (everytime) to comment...
it does not matter if it is a he or she it is what GOD wanted it to be.
