What is the theme of the poem phenomenal women written by Maya angelou?

Answer 1

I believe that the theme of phenomenal woman is how not an average woman is still beautiful because of the way she carries herself. Its not because she looks like a model or walks like one. It's because she has soo much confidence and she has her head on her shoulders. So when she walks around people can see that she is confident, graceful, and that she wont let anything bring down her pride in life. This is why she is so phenomenal.

Answer 2

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies-----alliteration

I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size-----imagery

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.-----rhyme (lips hips)

I'm a woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,

That's me.-----repetition

I walk into a room

Just as cool as you please,

And to a man,

The fellows stand or

Fall down on their knees.-----hyperbole

Then they swarm around me,

A hive of honey bees.-----metaphor and rhyme (bees knees)

I say,

It's the fire in my eyes,-----metaphor and hyperbole

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.-----repetition

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.-----rhyme(smile style)

I'm a woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,

That's me.-----repetition

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.-----rhyme (proud loud)

I say,

It's in the click of my heels,-----assonance

The bend of my hair,

the palm of my hand,

The need of my care,-----rhyme(hair care)

'Cause I'm a woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,

That's me.-----repetition
