Phenomenal Woman

I stumbled upon this poem last night and I thought I'd better share it with you. It would be here for future reference as well ;)

I've also included a YouTube video of the poem read by Angeleou herself ;)

Phenomenal Woman

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I'm back and I got this small gift for you ;)

I'm back here…after being away on a trip, struggling with post-travelling depression then being busy, being simply distracted and a bit blue and most importantly feeling like having nothing to post here!!

My apologies to you if you are still out there waiting for a post from me ;)

Let's get serious…shall we?
and let me rant a bit hoping that you wouldn't mind it.

I watched the movie {The Raven, 2012} today (Tuesday: 17 July 2012). I actually struggled to get it downloaded after many attempts of getting fake torrents . Today, I decided to get it no matter what! and found myself going through the labyrinth of some maddening links that kept on leading me to almost nowhere!!
Whatever!!
I was able to get it and that's what matters - apart from wasting hours on finding the correct torrent!

 I decided to save people from going through the same trouble that I got through in order to enjoy watching this movie. Wouldn't you agree that posting the correct link and torrent would be a nice idea?? ha?


But allow me first to share with you why I enjoyed the movie; I actually expected it to be a very good one, given the good rating it got as you can check on IMDb {The Raven 2012} and the fact that I always enjoy this formula of mixing mystery, clever poetic script and old times costumes and setting. Moreover, it is inspired by the famous American poet , author and critic  Edgar Allen Poe (One of my favourite authors)who is actually one of the main characters in the movie.  There is also John Cusack whose movies are almost always worth watching. And did I mention that they quote some of my very favorite poems of Poe's, such as "Annabell Lee" and "A Dream within a Dream", the later is such a wonderful touching poem that I used to memorize by heart ;)

If you are still unsure whether this is the type of movie that you'd like to watch then perhaps watching the trailer would help you make up your mind ;)

Ok…enough of my babbling
and here is the torrent you've been waiting for ;)
