Comment from Jaye Bennett
Much thought went into this poem. I than him for his lovely description of woman. Using a simple abcb rhyme scheme, interspersed with "near" rhymes he presents a case for woman's equal civil right. I think modern women are not doing proper research. If they did, they would find, women, indeed, have to make choices between career and motherhood. Those taking off, sometimes years, do face the fact it impacts their careers. Those who do not take time off for motherhood are often better paid than their male counterparts. I think our current laws have equal rights for women ingrained in them. I do applaud the poet's POV and the poem. Good job.

Excellent.
It is the truth. Hard to understand by some men, not a status sought by some women.
However, history and life show the need for a wife.
A woman produces life, while a man often makes a deposit, and walks away.
A woman, as a ruler, would not be cruel; she is a Mother, and knows mankind.
Power does not respect gender. The biblical writers were men who chose the protagonist a Man. However, they neglected to recognize "Mary," the Mother of Jesus. Even today, in the Catholic Church, a man can become a Priest. No woman allowed. Sad, but true, men have severely damaged our chance for Peace.
Give a qualified woman a chance.
Your are prophetic.

As a poet, I love this poem. It is well-written--good job on meter
and rhyme, literal and figurative language, and conveyance of theme.
Also, as a woman, I love it because it pays moving tribute to women!

Well written poem, and so good to see women honored in a day when they are often treated like trash. The rhyme scheme is spot on. My only disagreement, which has no affect on how I rate this, is that I believe women are especially gifted in the home. My wife far exceeds my ability to nurture our children. Anyway, great job!

Yes!! Love this and thank you for your upstanding views on women. This just delighted me as a woman old enough to have been put down by men many times over the years. You are my hero!! So happy you revived this gem, sir.

Hi Jaybird! I really adore this poem, She Is Just A Woman," it makes me want to run out and yell... "Yeah! Me!!!" LOL It's really well written and the meter is almost perfect.
My only suggestion is with the opening line in the first and last stanzas; You might want to change it to: "Yes sir, she's just a woman"
I believe it will fit your meter better. The rest of the poem rocks in a perfect rythm, just that one line is slightly off.
I really love the message in this poem, it's really uplifting and it's really well written as well. I do love your work!

This is a fine tribute to women. The only question I would have is since women were placed on pedestals before, why would they want equal rights? Your poem rhymes, made sense, and invokes emotions within the reader. Very nice job.

Women have fought for equal rights for years and here we are working in a mans world making a go of it why? Because we have more patience than a man.

I certainly share your opinion --this was an easy read, as always-and I find your poems to be very simply written yet full of character and thought provoking lines. Most enjoyable with great meter and rhyme
All the Best!
