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.
Very nice poem, my grandmother was very fond of Maya Angelou and I remember reading I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings because it was the first book I finished (a feat) :)
Interesting poem.
Very nice poem.
Almost as good as Eddie Murphy's "Kill My Landlord"
Yeah, girl power :)

I know I shouldn't.. but may I use your poem? It's nice anyway :)
Really good poem, really liked the substance because usually poems just look and sound airy and weird to me...
Delicious. But I've always found the one who's writing is the true poem.
nice poem
i really liked it
Just found this blog, really good stuff on here
nice story, I will absolutely come back after i got up tommorow to read all your posts
This poem doesn't seem worthy of so much praise, maybe I'm not getting it?
Personally, i don't really like this poem that much either, I think theres something that men can't understand when reading this, or its just me
