little lady

fix your hair

fix your nails

a lady doesnt present herself like that

put on a skirt not those baggy pants

a woman is what i am

a woman who sits with her head high

especially when her hairs a mess

and maybe not the best dressed

but heads still stop and turn

mouths drop and watch

as my devine energy fills the room

a little girl looks quite blue

chin up dear, why so sad?

dont let people fill your head with negative things

the world does it enough on its own

a girl like you should be chasing her dreams

but as i said, chin up darling

theres people to greet

all of them here for us

we are the dream.

but we only live once

so you should live it right

and always remember

to shine bright

This poem's tone is both serious and inspirational.The poem is talking to the little girl who was blue or women in general.It makes me feel somewhat inspired.A phrase I found striking was the final line "monsters still come out at night".I didn't find much out of place but the final line could've had some context.The devices work well in my opinion, I like the use of keeping your head up high, I thought that was neat.I like the break between "we are the dream" and "but we only live once".Overall, good job!

The assertive, and candid tones of this poem are very clear and strong, adding to the purpose of it. The poems audience is the young girls in the world, discouraged by, from what I understand from the poem, sexism, and primitave ideals. The plcement of punctuation is creative, and adds to the dialogue withing the poem. The feminism, and confidence in the poem is strong, and uplifting, while still cautionary towards the ending.

As I was reading this poem, I really like the tone because it sounds very motivational for a women out there that may not feel their best or as confident. The part that strikes up to me is when it says "dont let people fill your head with negative things , the world does it enough on its own". I found this something that does happen alot in society but it can also motivate people to be yourself and dont let anyone stop you. The part I feel like might work better in a different situation is " but always remember, monsters still come out at night" I feel like that doesn't fit here in this great poem that you wrote and maybe you could change that with " But never forget to, always shine bright .I really like the part that you put that says "A girl like you should be chasing her dreams because it sounds very strong and it motivates me to move forward and chase after my goals. Overall, I really liked your poem and everything cordinates well and its organized too.
