(Inspired by “Phenomenal Woman” by and a tribute poem by one of my poetic inspirations, the late Maya Angelou. All credit goes to Maya Angelou)
She was known for not having,
A supermodel’s size.
She was a caged bird,
Who was used and abused.
She understood why that bird sung,
In spite of everything,
Still she rose.
She was also known as Miss Calypso
A Phenomenal Woman was she.
