Pretty Little Broken Feet

wow this is a good poem i like the words you use great job!!!wow the first line is also really witten well great job!

last line.
*does italian finger kissy thing*

wow. this is like. intense hatred towards people who force their ideas of beauty onto others. thats what i get out of it. (or maybe that's me reflecting my own emotions on your words? idk. thats the problem with reading poetry w/ a bias)

this is amazing though.
awesome in the real sense ^.~

silken torture. there's a name for that. placing unlike next to something to make it stand out. *bad memory*

i like that you talk about dreams, because foot binding wasn't only about beauty, it was about forcing women into submission to be accpeted.

i also like how you put new meaning into the phrase "bind them". i don't quite get what you mean by words, but the masks and finery i understand. maybe by words you mean pretty, shallow conversations?

WAIT I HERD ABOUT THIS IN LIKE THE SIXTH GRADE WOW YEAH I COULD BELEIVE THAT THEY DO THAT

isn't that in japan or china? somewhere liek that i'd had that all the pain, i don't really think it stops may the pain does but still it's cruel
i like the poem

that is so strong. i am a complete femenist and this is one of the greatest things that bothers me about modern day society and different cultures. though i attempt to accept them, it is hard when these things are causing physical and mental pain on women. great job for putting it into words.

JUXTAPOSE!!!!

omg christina. weird.

so. how did i remember that?
american effing idol.
not even jking.

This is good stuff! Keep it up. There's a clear message in this.

trouble wiv women is: they do it to themselves in the name of beauty/vanity/whatever. And the perpetrators of the above are normally older women,which makes it a truly feministic excercise. I like knock knees, so maybe they could giv'em ricketts instead Excellent poem

i heard about this before.. they do it in malaysia.. a small state called Melaka.. it's like and age old trdition or something but it doesnt happen anymore..

i heard about this, chinese do it to fit their feet into really really really small shoes and they say it's the most beautiful

awesome!
