A Modern Woman (Free verse) by Dovina

Free to regard a situation ponder with reason select an attitude use it submit passively push forcefully vegetate exasperate or take it in a sporting way with humor as men want all choices lie before a modern woman We can rest think intensively ponder scientifically or philosophically or take advantage for training or spiritual retreat I’d like to meet a modern woman

Our grandmothers did those things, and some did them as well or better than modern women. But they were the special ones. I think the big change in the last twenty years is attitude. Maybe I didn’t say it well in the poem, but we can no longer rest in old expectations of frailty and excusable lack of integrity, but are expected to act professionally in our dress-for-success attire, and to work the project with constantly sensible demeanor. We like to say we accomplish this, but I’m asking whether success at it is too costly and whether a more feminine businesswoman is really more successful.
