My absolute Top favorite poem right now is... 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.

But i have more that are up there such as Annabel Lee by: Edgar Allan Poe The Road Not Taken By: Robert Frost Hate Poem by: Julie Sheehan
but there is more i am to lazy to list what are your favorite's
I like the road not taken by Rober Frost is awesome deep really. Annabel Lee bye Edgar Allan Poe is a good one too, but I don't like much of Poe's work. My favorite poem would have to be by Dr. Suess. One fish two fish red fish blue fish. Awesome. JK. I can't really say that I have a favorite poem.
My friends really like Poe because of the dark side he tends to show for me personally its kind of cool sometimes and other times i keep thinking this dude is Emo and needs to see a professional. And Dr. Suess is poetic but not among my favorite most of the time. And despite how popular the raven is I have never read it
I've never read the Raven either, and Kiki, I was joking about Dr. Suess. I don't remember for sure but I think that I've heard the women poem before I don't know what its called though. Poe did need to see a therapist, but I never would have told him that to his face.
I know you where joking well i was just kind of hoping and the poem I forgot to name is called Phenomanal Women and I wouldn't exsactly go tell Poe to get a doctor either but he needed one another great artist lost to drugs and acohol but maybe that helped him produce some of his greater works as crazy as that seems
