Chains Poem by Charles M Moore

When head takes on heart it usually comes out on the losing end, regardless of the strength of the arguments. These chains can be so difficult to break! A fine insight into the issue, and as ever, smooth and flowing poetry. jim

Women stay for different reasons -they're mothers, wives, lovers, and generally keep the homefires burning. We stay for security, even when our spirits are screaming for freedom. But something we know is easier than something we don't - and there's the rub. Great insight, Charlie. Linda

This is a compassionate, insightful write, Charlie. Thank you for understanding the difficult choice that some women make. If you can, this might benefit by a third stanza.

From an x- wife and mother... your words speak the truth. Insight is splendid, well done.The flow wonderful.

Poignant but not melancholy. That'll be a 10 then. Hugs Anna xxx
