I AM A WOMAN

entry picture

 

I walk in the street,

don’t feel my feet.

I don’t walk, I swim

like a swan on a slow stream.

All women are just like women

but I am a queen,

I am on the scene,

Of course, I am not of a model height,

just a little bit overweight,

but…I’ve got so much charm,

and it’s written on my palm.

Yes, I can be sometimes  furious,

and as a woman I can be curious,

and my character is not for those who are nervous,

and not for those who are jealous.

But…I’ve got so much  gloss and stylishness,

I’ve got so much  tenderness.

Let all the problems go to hell!

Let all those exes just swell!

I’ve decided once and for all:

As far as I am not a ball

I wouldn’t like to be handed,

I wouldn’t like to be offended.

I am a woman

and want to know only a real man.

The last lines were:
I am a woman
and would like to know
only a true man

Thank you so much for rereading and comment.

Hi Larisa. Not having total recall, I can't remember how the last eight lines were before you changed them. Maybe you could put them back as a comment here at the end of the poem? As it stands, I like the feisty "up yours" Let all the problems go to hell attitude very much. Then you say you want only a real man. Why not go the whole way and say you don't need ANY daft man cluttering up your life? That's my aim anyway! Stand tall - and sod em all! xxxx

I love the first four lines of this Larisa. I love the swan image. A nice poem.
