Proud To Be A Woman
You can write to me
Using sweet words
Dear ones that honor me
Or ones that thrill me
Or you could write
About me
If you wish
Inspiring lines
Perhaps ones that rhyme
You can lift me up
Spread good words
Around and round
All these things
You could say aloud
But just knowing
How far this
Woman has come
Is enough for me
To say I'm proud.

Re: Re. Proud To Be A Woman
I wrote this for one of the poetry competitions, a tribute nonetheless. Thank you for talking the time to read and comment on it.
Re. Proud To Be A Woman
Really good! The title is the poem and the poem is the title, but you only know that after reading it! Then you feel satisfied with the complete thought. I hope you win, because I really like your portrayal of confident womanhood. 🌹

I love you’ve provided ideas to help the reader along in suggestive ideas yet the answer in your closing line is stellar as self worth and realization. All the very best of luck in this comp. Beautiful write. H🌷

".....You can bend but never break me
'Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I'll come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'Cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul......"
-From Helen Reddy's song, "I Am Woman"
I couldn't say it any better.

Standing beautiful in strength. The poem could also make good tips for men how to write poems to women they would like relating to better.
