A Woman's Perspective

A Woman's Perspective

You think I'm stupid, don't forget I was hired,
I won 'The Apprentice' but I was still fired,
a friend of mine has recently beaten men at darts,
give me/us some credit instead of measuring my parts.

God made us as a friend, even took a rib out of you,
so you've got something less than me, get in the queue,
you shouldn't leave me, it would be good if you believe me,
I'll give you magic and a good share of mystery.

Don't treat me like a plaything, just respect me boy,
how many times have I been left like a discarded toy,
now it's my turn to deprive you of your dessert,
you have to realize what it's like to get hurt.

You see the picture, now it's all history,
but just remember, you probably murdered me.

NB. An extra rib may be a fallacy
       but is suitable for this text!

Unique, the first word that comes to mind. You did an excellant job giving a voice to all women. 

Favorite Part: 

You see the picture, now it's all history,
but just remember, you probably murdered me.
I think you could dive further into the poem, and make it shine. 

I would add a few more stanzas, fill it with detail or a scene from a previous event/dinner/arguement/senerio/. 

Just a few ideas. Thanks again, for sharing your poem.

Thanks Katina for your ideas.
Marilyn Monroe had a turbulent
life and not easy to reference
in a few lines.
Regards,
Terry.
