Woman

“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.”

-from Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou

Femininity

by Carmen H Gray

Curves in motion

Soft waves

In the undulating sea

Circles spiraling

Triangular mystery

Ballads and songs

Carefully crafted

Throughout history

For the life-giving

Beauty of femininity
