Welcome to my little corner of Allpoetry!

I am widely recognized as

the most promising author in my household,

narrowly beating out an eloquent and opinionated cat,

and an odd assortment of outdoor creatures

who trespass on occasion.

Powerful Women's Motto:

 

 

Live your life in such a way

that when your feet hit the floor

in the morning,

Satan shudders & says....

'Oh shit.....she's awake!!'

A good woman is proud of herself. She respects herself and others. She is aware of who she is. She neither seeks definition from the person she is with, nor does she expect them to read her mind. She is quite capable of articulating her needs.

A good woman is hopeful. She is strong enough to make all of her dreams come true. She knows love, therefore she gives love. She recognizes that her love has great value and must be reciprocated. If her love is taken for granted, it soon disappears.

A good woman has a dash of inspiration and a dabble of endurance. She knows that she will, at times, have to inspire others to reach the potential their Creator has given them. A good woman knows her past, understands her present and moves toward the future.

A good woman believes in a Higher Power. She knows that with her Higher Power the world is her playground, but without it, she will just be played. A good woman does not live in fear of the future because of her past. Instead, she understands that her life experiences are merely lessons, meant to bring her closer to self-knowledge and unconditional self-love.   

 

 

 

"There is no greater wonder than

the way the face and character of a woman

fit so perfectly in a man's mind, and stay there,

and he could never tell you why.

It just seems it was the thing he most wanted."

~ Robert Louis Stevenson

  

 

"Never be bullied into silence.

Never allow yourself to be made a victim.

Accept no one's definition of your life;

define yourself."

~ Harvey Fierstein

 

 

"Being Deeply Loved By Someone Gives You Strength.

Loving Someone Deeply Gives You Courage"

Phenomenal Woman
~by Dr. 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.

  • StevenHoward : Good to see you active and still here on May 16
    Hello my friend. It's so good to see you still active here, and as feisty as ever. I think I'm about to come out of my slump and return to the writing I love. Even updating my author info was a big step for me, but I think I'm on my way.

    I look forward to reading your work again. So good to see you still here!
