With as much pain as a human being becomes a woman, <br />That much pain makes a woman a poet. <br />A word takes a long year to be made, <br />a poem an entire life. <br /> <br />When woman becomes a poet, she is totally a woman. <br />Then she is mature enough to give birth from her suffering heart, <br />Then she knows how to care for a word. <br /> <br />You have to be a woman first if you want to give birth to a poem. <br />A word without any pain is fragile, breaks when touched. <br />Who knows more than a woman all the lanes and alleys of pain!<br /><br />Taslima Nasrin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/women-and-poems/
