Poetry: Feminism

Here I am
I am a woman
I am strong yet I am fragile
Like a precious piece of glass I can break.
Here I am
I am a woman
I am not a man
My arms may not lift what he can
The strength in my arms cannot be measured in weight
The strength my arms have can only be seen
in the gentle embrace that instantly soothes the child who cries and yearns to be found
Here I am
I am a woman
I give life like the Earth
The Earth is me and I am her
I am a woman
Listen as the birds sing for me
Look at the trees they sway but do not break in the fierce winds for me
I am a woman
Look at the moon it is blue for me
It pushes and pulls the tide for me
I am a woman
And there would be no you
With out me

    I am a woman
    A planter of freedom-
    I've buried oppression
    In my underground breast
    So liberation can overshadow
    My pain and despair
    My

    Feminine Woman

    Hair like silk
    Tied with a bow
    Skin soft as satin
    Touched with a glow

    Lips full and glossed
    Tempting to be kissed
    Voluptuous
