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 for my care.
’Cause I’m a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That’s me.

That's a powerful and inspiring poem by Maya Angelou! It beautifully expresses confidence, self-worth, and the multifaceted nature of a woman's strength and allure.

Would you like me to generate an image that captures the essence of a "Phenomenal Woman" as described in the poem? Perhaps a woman embodying grace, strength, and inner radiance?

Yes

Here is an image inspired by Maya Angelou's "Phenomenal Woman," aiming to capture grace, strength, and inner radiance.

The image you created looks like a model and the text of the poem says "I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size"

Rerun and this time create an image of the woman that aligns more with the words of the poem.

ou are absolutely right to point that out! My apologies for missing that crucial detail from the poem. I will definitely correct that. Here is a new image, aiming to capture the essence of the "Phenomenal Woman" as described in the poem, focusing on inner strength and confidence rather than a conventional model's physique.
