Women Poems

Beautiful face
That like a daisy opens its petals to the sun
So do you
Open your face to me as I turn the page.
...

A WOMAN waits for me--she contains all, nothing is lacking,
Yet all were lacking, if sex were lacking, or if the moisture of the
right man were lacking.
...

I used to think nurses
Were women,
I used to think police
Were men,
...

GIVE me women, wine, and snuff
Untill I cry out "hold, enough!"
You may do so sans objection
Till the day of resurrection:
...

When the moon was full they came to the water.
some with pitchforks, some with rakes,
some with sieves and ladles,
and one with a silver cup.
...

WOMEN sit, or move to and fro- some old,
some young;
...

She begins, and my grandmother joins her.
Mother and daughter sing like young girls.
If my father were alive, he would play
his accordion and sway like a boat.
...

The Dawn! The Dawn! The crimson-tinted, comes
Out of the low still skies, over the hills,
Manhattan's roofs and spires and cheerless domes!
The Dawn! My spirit to its spirit thrills.
...

You call yourself a man,
For all you used to swear,
An' leave me, as you can,
My certain shame to bear?
...

NEVER give all the heart, for love
Will hardly seem worth thinking of
To passionate women if it seem
Certain, and they never dream
That it fades out from kiss to kiss;
...

Women always at the apex of attention
woman always the center of affection
women always seeking love
woman always offering care
...

Are you sick and tired of not getting your way whenever you want?
Do people have the nerve to treat you like a normal member of society?
Have you been accused of saying something racist and don't know how to shift focus?
Introducing, Entitled White Women's Tears, the revolutionary new solution that will keep you looking your victimest.

Narrator: Are you sick and tired of not getting your way whenever you want?
Do people have the nerve to treat you like a normal member of society?
Have you been accused of saying something racist and don't know how to shift focus?
Introducing, Entitled White Women's Tears, the revolutionary new solution that will keep you looking your victimest.

I follow strong women
Women who are conscious
Women who are defiant
Women who are gay
...

Masks prose without links


When last I visited India almost a decade ago
...

Iranian women,
Saudi Arabian women,

It is of women, by women and of women,
Women speaking for women
