A Woman's World
A Villanelle Inspired By An International Women's Day 2023 Celebratory Painting By Angie Livingstone (The Glittering Fox)
Introduction
This is my twenty-ninth piece inspired by Angie Livingstone's amazing artwork. You can find her on Facebook on the link below. These are Angie's words about the image:
For International Woman's Day here is another Honouring the Sacred Feminine painting, Dancing to the Spiral Goddess' loving yourself just the way you are.
Goddess, Fertility Goddess, Dancing Women, Body Confidence, Self Love, Spiral Goddess, Witch, Sabbath, Pagan, Wiccan, Mystical
These are words inspired by her wonderful work.
The song I chose for this is "Shakin' The Tree (Women's Day)" by Peter Gabriel and Youssou N'Dour because although the artists are men, they are pro-women and it is a wonderful song to listen to while you read my words.
And here is her work available on Etsy

Here For You
Introduction "Father Figure" is my favourite George Michael song. I am here for many people and some, including my daughters and my close friends, see me as that at times. I always think I am still fifteen but I always make the effort to be there for people when I am needed to give love, advice, comfort and empathy.

How, Too
Many people wonder how, too. You are not alone, and I am an expert. I will teach you how, too! First, you need to remit a small application fee and fill out an application describing the nature of your financial situation and how often payments will be made, as this will have great bearing on how well I teach you how, too.
