Analysis of Phenomenal Woman
Phenomenal woman,
Indeed! The universe says you are;
Without glitz or fanfare attached
You were, born a true star.
Humility and unemblazoned poise,
Still your greatest traits;
You alone complement your truest self,
No need for affirming mates.
Phenomenal woman,
That prized ancient scroll;
Wrapped in your sacred delicate pages,
Such wisdom to unfold.
Your beauty defies your age,
Wholesome mystique outweighs raw magic;
Mistaking you on any day for just a lady,
For our planet would be so tragic.
