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.
(Maya Angelou)

i heard this poem recited in the movie "Poetic Justice" by Janet Jackson...(i think). She read the poem over and over with a slight twist each time. That really had an impact on me...a good impact.
Beautiful poetry...beautiful lines.
