This so perfectly evokes what could be going on. Laundry was such a drudgery, but also, it’s these types of mindless chores that allow for daydreaming. One wonders what else she had to do that day. Thank you for your poem!

Thank you so much Merril. I apologize I mistakenly said Mish was hosting. I changed it ☺️💕
I’m glad you drew attention to the drudgery and backache of this work, which has been so many women’s lot in life for centuries!
Thank you Ingrid. ☺️💕
Very effective narrative style, described in a way to make one feel her pain and ache of drudgery, with a glimmer of hope at the end….
Thank you Ain ☺️
