β€œAs his toothbrush watched”…….I’m astonished at how beautifully this poem captured the reality of living as a woman in a man’s world. Wonderful writing.

This is a tiny bit stereotypical--men are not all slobs. Additionally, though the poetry is good as is, I would say that a lot more figurative language can be imbued here.

Thanks for the feedback! I will be honest, I was pulling from quite a personal experience and not through the lens of mass generalization. Not all men are slobs, and not all women wear makeup etc. .. those who may resonate with this may resonate.
