Some how it castes a disturbing shadow on female capability and is rather unfair if I get it right. There is an inexplicable inherent dichotomy and distressing gender bias in these lines. Somehow it reduces feminine endeavor to a restricting physical dimension. Since we all know how females have done great service and distinguished themselves in all spheres of life from reginal regalia to mundane housewife chore. Need I remind readers about Queen Victoria, Mother Theresa, Florence Nightingale and countless others. Unless we as humans/poets recognize this vital aspect we are in a self defeating downward spiral, by condemning fifty percent of our species to a lesser role. A different role model may be acceptable purely from a biological stand point, but trying to demote these boundaries to restrictive and stifling narrower ideologies is a disservice in my humble opinion. I guess would rate the lines mediocre on poetic merit and contextually appalling. blessings

Do you really mean it? Poets are the best and the worst dreamers, but the women are realistic in nature, but the spouse of a poet is caught in between! !
