Won't you help support DayPoems? AmazonBy Myra Schneider21st Centuryfor Grevel For four months all those Matisse and Picasso women draped against plants, balconies, Mediterranean sea, skies have taunted me with the beautiful globes of their breasts as I've filled my emptiness with pages of scrawl, with fecund May, its floods of green, its irrepressible wedding-lace white, buttercup gold, but failed to cover the image of myself as a misshapen clown until you reminded me that in Greek myth the most revered women were the single-breasted Amazons who mastered javelins, bows, rode horses into battle, whose fierce queens were renowned for their femininity. Then recognising the fields I'd fought my way across I raised my shield of glistening words, saw it echoed the sun. DayPoems Poem No. 1633 Comment on DayPoems?
