Poem #1: Phenomenal Woman

I am woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman

That's me.

~Maya Angelou

This seemed to be an appropriate start to my poem-memorization since it is about being a phenomenal woman, exactly the way we are.

I haven't memorized anything in...well, let's see...I don't remember when! Unless you count my new address & phone number here in NC. It is surprisingly easy...although the passing drivers on my street might wonder at my acting out the lines on my way to get the mail ("the reach of my arms, the span of my hips").

Two stanzas down, two to go before the 31st. I feel more phenomenal already! And I think I have my first woman to investigate for my Heroes list.
