Sherry Beck Poet Bio

I Am Woman

I am comical with the nature of being fickle
I am delicate and dainty, my spine sometimes jells
My bravado wobbles and wibbles
Life being me sometimes tickle

I have the strength, depth and vitality of a w-o-m-a-n
Sometimes I am frail under a love spell
Still I am mightier than a locomotive
More fierce than a raging bull 
Yet, I am sweet as sugar and dignified beautiful

Emphasis on the ferociousness of my being
That dead stills your heart and expedites your breathing
I am a sea shell ashore with great meaning

I am vulnerable and vernacular
Versatile and spectacular
Peace is my avatar
I am woman

My swagger thrust me to soar
My magnificence out pours
I am w-o-m-a-n
Hear me roar

Paloma P October 21, 2016 at 12:52 PM Ha Helen Reddy would approve! Much enjoyed your version. Ferociously good :) Sherry Beck September 14, 2024 at 12:59 PM “Oh my, Paloma P, what a compliment! I had a brain freeze about who Helen Reddy was, but Good Golly Miss Molly, she was definitely an inspiration with her Grammy-winning ‘I Am Woman.’”
