The maya angelou's poem on pheonomenal woman touched me. <br /> <br />But i couldn't agree with the woman priding herself for her physical assets on the reasons of her being phenomenal. <br /> <br />So I thought of another version of a phenomenal woman.. here it goes.. <br /> <br />I had earlier posted a poem with same title. This is an improvised version of that. <br /> <br />**************************** <br />Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. <br />I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size <br />But when I start to tell them, <br />They think I'm telling lies. <br />I say, <br />It's in the depth of my words <br />The reach of my deeds, <br />The smile on my face, <br />And the grace of my gaze. <br />I'm a woman <br />Phenomenally. <br />Phenomenal woman, <br />That's me. <br /> <br />I walk into a room <br />Just as cool as you think.. <br />And all the men, <br />Salute me in awe. <br />They stand before me, <br />With folded hands. <br />I say, <br />It's the fire in my eyes, <br />The love in my sight, <br />The will of my mind <br />And the feel of my might <br />I'm a woman <br />Phenomenally. <br />Phenomenal woman, <br />That's me. <br /> <br />Men themselves have wondered <br />What they see in me. <br />They try so much <br />But they can't touch <br />My inner mystery. <br />When I try to show them <br />They say they still can't see. <br />I say, <br />It's the peace of my mind <br />The wings of my elf, <br />The march of my presence, <br />And the spirit of my self. <br />I'm a woman <br />Phenomenally. <br />Phenomenal woman, <br />That's me. <br /> <br /> <br />Now you understand <br />Just why my head's not bowed. <br />I don't shout or jump about <br />Or have to talk real loud. <br />When you see me passing <br />It ought to make you proud. <br />I say, <br />It's in the love of my touch, <br />The warmth of my voice <br />The strength of my heart <br />And the breadth of my poise <br />'Cause I'm a woman <br />Phenomenally. <br />Phenomenal woman, <br />That's me. <br /> <br />******************* <br /> <br />-TBT<br /><br />TheBigThinkg Human<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/phenomenal-woman-tbt-version-improvised/
