Poemranker [Poem: Pride] [by Dovina] Tue Apr 23 22:18:06 PDT 2024

Sometimes the way my mother looks at me, I feel she knows more than she says. For, though there are times I long to creep in to her in the night And talk about love, and cry, Iâm glad I never have. About such matters, a daughter should have pride And settle for knowing she knows.

'Creep in to her in the night"
Into her room or back to the uterus?
"And settle for knowing she knows" possibly
"And settle for knowing she knows more."
Does this change what you are saying or make it clearer? -8- maybe a -10- if I were not confused by those two lines.

âsheâ in the last line is ambiguous. It could mean either the daughter or the mother. If it means the daughter than the line is trite. If it means the mother than the daughter knows the mother knows. âcreep into the uterusâ doesnât quite work with the next line: âAnd talk about love, and cry.â I often give an 8 or below when I donât understand a poem. This one deserves a 2.

Being a bit of a lad, this poeme is utterly wasted on me. For fear of tainting the ballot with my ignorance, I shall vote inconspicuously -4-

Have you no empathy for the femininely challenged?
