For All of the women of SFF. I was fortunate to hear this poem recently and I loved it and thought all of the women here could relate to it. I hope that you enjoy it.....I did. Phenomenal Woman.............by Maya Angelou Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size But when I start to tell them, They think I'm telling lies. I say, It's in the reach of my arms The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. I walk into a room Just as cool as you please, And to a man, The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, A hive of honey bees. I say, It's the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Men themselves have wondered What they see in me. They try so much But they can't touch My inner mystery. When I try to show them They say they still can't see. I say, It's in the arch of my back, The sun of my smile, The ride of my breasts, The grace of my style. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Now you understand Just why my head's not bowed. I don't shout or jump about Or have to talk real loud. When you see me passing It ought to make you proud. I say, It's in the click of my heels, The bend of my hair, the palm of my hand, The need of my care, 'Cause I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Maya Angelou |

I love this poem too, she really was a Phenomenal Woman! If we lose love and self respect for each other, this is how we finally die. Maya Angelou

Hello Butterfly..........I am glad that you liked it. I hope that every woman on SFF feels this way also but sometime we need a reminder and I thought this would be good for that.

Hello MsEd.....So glad to see you. I have read a lot of her books but never had read any of her poems. I saw her read one of her poems at Clinton's Inauguration and it was good but I was looking at a movie the other day "Beauty Shop" and this actress recited part of " Phenomenal Woman" and I was blown away. I went looking for that poem and thought all women should see it.......so I brought it here.
