Alice,

What can I say about this piece? Firstly, in honesty, I approached this one with caution and I was - by turns - repelled and hypnotised by your words all at once. It wasn't until I reached the end that I realised that menstruation - like all other natural things - is indeed a wonder of nature and I was, in fact, being rather immature and closed-minded.
I felt with that last line 'I think it may be art' you were almost challenging the reader: menstruation may indeed be art but this poem is, too, whether people like the subject matter or not.
I genuinely feel this a marvellous write and I will nominate it tomorrow.

All the very best,

Ben

To be honest I found this a little gross because it was easy to imagine the situation. What's good about this piece is, it shows the creativity you have as a writer. This is clearly penned with a poetic effect and I think you were successful in making us think and thereby agreeing to your concept of art. I have been reading your works, I think your poetry has a mark of their own. :-)

Alice, I applaud you for writing about whatever you like ... it's always amused me how something so natural is considered almost taboo to discuss. Without menstruation there would be no humans, so the line "A constant stream of fresh and fertile juice" is particularly brilliant!

A very honest write and nature is amazing. Without menstruation there would be no life. Enjoyed reading.All the best

Words to the art of growing up. Well written.

Bravo... Oh to be a man for a day hahaha

Alice, I don't know where to start, as our fellow poets already mentioned that there would be no beginning without the menstruation.

As KCL said, "Something as natural as it is, still we consider it taboo to discuss in the society."

Alice, full points to you for the creativity.
The way you have woven the words involving nature around a natural phenomenon is phenomenal.

The thought of writing about such a thing, and the language you used to describe something, so pure, is itself an art.

The emotions, feelings you portrayed on the canvas of poetry with the brush of your words really cast the spell on me.

All the best!

Oh, wow! This is AWESOME. I have no other words. Well done!!

Judging comment:

Wonderful! Every word, every sentence, penned with an artistic flow. Well articulated. A deserving 100/10. With this poem, which could be a real experience in a woman's life (and be looked down upon), the poet has made it into a beautiful art. In glorifying something which (although does need to be glorified) still isn't accepted as nature's beauty at work in many parts of the world, this poem has glorified womanhood. I love it.
