Phenomenal Poems Poem by Francie Lynch

Phenomenal Poems

You have said
As a “Phenomenal Woman”
That
“Still I Rise, ”
and so you must to travel
“The Road Not Taken.”
But
“If You Forget Me”
In your
“Dreams, ”
Dearest “Annabel Lee, ”
I will sing like the
“Caged Bird.”

If,
“When Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening, ”
You should find yourself in
“A Dream Within a Dream, ”
Then deny, for
“I Don't Love You Because I Love You; ”
I love you more
“As I Grow Older.”

I will pass through this life,
“Do Not Stand by My Grave and Weep, ”
You are not
“Alone.”
You too
“Will Not Go Gently Into That Good Night; ”
For I
“Don't Go Far Off.”
This is the promise:
“Hope is the Thing With Feathers, ”
or it can be
“A Poison Tree, ”
Casting venom on
“Daffodils, ”
Making
“All the World a Stage, ”
And I,
An understudy in the wings.
