a) What line or lines of the poem do you like the most and why?
My favorite line is "It’s the fire in my eyes" because the eyes are the window of the soul and you can see in them really how is a person.

b) What is the message the poem is trying to give? Why do you believe so?
The message of the poem is that women love themselves, I think this because all the time it talks about the characteristics and the beauty of each woman

c) Are women "phenomenal"? Explain.
Yes, because we are all different, we are strong and our beauty is in the uniqueness of every woman,that's why I think we're all phenomenal.

Poems

Where the sidewalks ends 
( Shel Silverstein)

There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.

Donde la acera acaba
Hay un lugar, un sito, donde la acera acaba,
donde la calle aún no ha comenzado;
allí la hierba crece blanca y blanda
y allí el sol carmesí brilla y calienta
y allí la luna alada reposa de su vuelo
y se baña en la brisa mentolada.

Larguémonos de aquí, donde el humo es tan negro
y las lúgubres calles nos constriñen.
Lejos de las canteras de las flores de asfalto
con pasos calculados y sin prisa,
que nos guíen las flechas de tiza blanca al sitio
donde la acera acaba. 

Sí; sin prisa y con pasos calculados,
por el camino blanco de las flechas de tiza
que pintaron los niños, porque los niños saben
bien cuál es el lugar donde la acera acaba.

Tiny Feet
(Gabriela Mistral)

A child's tiny feet, 
Blue, blue with cold, 
How can they see and not protect you? 
Oh, my God! 

Tiny wounded feet, 
Bruised all over by pebbles, 
Abused by snow and soil! 

Man, being blind, ignores 
that where you step, you leave 
A blossom of bright light, 
that where you have placed 
your bleeding little soles 
a redolent tuberose grows. 

Since, however, you walk 
through the streets so straight, 
you are courageous, without fault. 

Child's tiny feet, 
Two suffering little gems, 
How can the people pass, unseeing.

Piecesitos de Niños
Piececitos de niño,
azulosos de frío,
¡cómo os ven y no os cubren,
Dios mío!

¡Piececitos heridos
por los guijarros todos,
ultrajados de nieves
y lodos!

El hombre ciego ignora
que por donde pasáis,
una flor de luz viva
dejáis;

que allí donde ponéis
la plantita sangrante,
el nardo nace más
fragante.

Sed, puesto que marcháis
por los caminos rectos,
heroicos como sois
perfectos.

Piececitos de niño,
dos joyitas sufrientes,
¡cómo pasan sin veros
las gentes!

Phenomenal Women

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.

Mujer fenomenal.
Las mujeres hermosas se preguntan dónde radica mi secreto.
No soy linda o nacida para vestir una talla de modelo,
Pero cuando empiezo a decírcelos todas creen que miento
Y digo,
Está en el largo de mis brazos,
En el espacio de mis caderas,
En la cadencia de mi andar,
En la curva de mis labios.
Soy una mujer,
Fenomenalmente.
Mujer fenomenal,
Esa soy yo.

Ingreso a cualquier lugar tan tranquila como es posible,
Y en cuanto al hombre,
Los tipos se ponen de pie o caen de rodillas.
Luego revolotean a mi alrededor,
Una colmena de abejas melíferas.
Y digo,
Es el fuego de mis ojos,
Y el brillo de mis dientes,
El movimiento de mi cadera,
Y la alegría de mis pies.
Soy una mujer,
Fenomenalmente.
Mujer fenomenal,
Esa soy yo.

Incluso los hombres se preguntan qué ven en mí.
Se esfuerzan pero no pueden rozar
Mi misterio interior.
Cuando intento mostrárselos
Dicen que no logran verlo
Y digo,
Está en la curvatura de mi espalda,
El sol de mi sonrisa,
El porte de mis pechos,
La gracia de mi estilo.
Soy una mujer
Fenomenalmente.
Mujer fenomenal,
Esa soy yo.

Ahora comprendes
Por qué mi cabeza no se inclina.
No grito ni ando a los saltos
No tengo que hablar muy alto.
Cuando me veas pasar
Deberías sentirte orgullosa.
Y digo,
Está en el sonido de mis talones,
Las ondas de mi cabello,
La palma de mi mano,
La necesidad de mi cariño,
Por que soy una mujer.
Fenomenalmente.
Mujer fenomenal,
Esa soy yo.

The Bible doesn't say where they stayed but most people think thet they stayed in a small barn where animals were kept.

That nigth and exciting thing happened: Mary had a baby! But this wasn't just any baby, he was baby Jesus, the creator of the world. the King of Kings, and the one who would save the world.

Bible poems

The Lost Son:
A father and his two sons
"Father, I want the heritage!" exclaimed the younger
The old man saw him ran away
The son wasted all the money
"Father, I miss you; I want to come back!"
They were together again
