My first poem was about time, I cannot remember it now. So keep this one safe. Good luck with your poetry writing. You’ve made a good start.


All the best des

Beautiful and empowering poem Bobbie! I hope you keep writing because the world needs more amazing poets like you to spread truths and messages of hope and positivity!

Well done Bobbie...looking forward to your second.

Like the hat BTW

Bobbie,

I am a boy and I like this poem because you speak for equality and that is good.
Thank you
Keith

Just in case you can’t see it on my picture

I am a girl

I am a girl,
Men thought they did more work,
They had to hunt,
They had to lurk,
But they weren’t told how to speak,
Or how to dress,
Nor did they need to shout to be heard,
They don’t know what it’s like to be a girl.

I am a girl,
Women’s rights are vital,
We couldn’t vote or leave the house,
Women cleaned, cooked but no appreciation,
Ask Rosa, Coco, Beyoncé too,
Ask Wangari, Malayla, even Florence,
They helped with this,
So thank them,
Or we could not vote, have tutors or even go to school,
I am a girl and you might be too.

I am a girl,
We now can play football, basketball, hockey as well,
We vote, learn, run for president and have tutors,
I am a girl and I’m proud to be too,
I am a girl,
I am a girl,
I am a woman.
