Willowbender woman — you
wind and force of fury,
sage and savory;
woman sun and rainbowmender,
your day today is bright
but you are mostly every night,
women — you
are moon and might.
Wondergender woman — you.
A tribute to every woman, to all the women. Written for dVerse OLN where Grace hosts tonight.

So well done. I really like the word combos you constructed that had so much power to the poem.
“Willowbender woman”
“sage and savory;
woman sun and rainbowmender”
Really cool descriptions.
“Willowbender Woman” .. wow!💖 This is wonderfully worded, Bjorn! 😊
Love this! Your descriptions are perfect!!
A true masterpiece of poetic goodness.
This poetry of yours pays a greatly tribute to all woman
and Wonder woman poetry is a symbol of hope and strength within.
“Willowbender…rainbowmender.”
I love the arcs and curves in the imagery. Yes, a woman’s power, something fierce and something malleable.
Hah! Great for International Womens’ Day. LOVE Wondergender — much better than Wonder Woman which brings to mind the revealing costume of the Marvel character that somehow, to me, still praises a woman’s ideally shaped (in the minds of stereotypical society) body rather than her brains and brawn. Wondergender seems somehow, to me, to avoid that pitfall.
Perfect for the day
I love the fun you have had with those lovely sounding words.I agree about the wind and force and fury. But the rainbowmender is special.
Love this : Reblogged!

WONDER WOMAN by Björn Rudberg: Happy Womens Day All!
I love “you are moon and might.” Nice alliteration.
Yesss!!! Thank you for the salute!
Nice tribute! Thanks.
I’d like to assume some of that. Good poem, Bjorn!
I really love this!
I like these two lines sound and sense: “your day today is bright
but you are mostly every night,”
rainbowmender – this one word says so much!
Hi there Bjorn, just read Grace’s piece and it made me smile to see how you tackle the topic in your very own and different way… but still so effectively AND essentially capturing and conveying the same message. For me, makes evenings like this so stimulating and worthwhile… Thanks…
A mighty woman she is. Love the play of words: woman sun and rainbowmender ! Thanks for the tribute to all women today Bjorn!
Women were Wonder Women long before the term ever came into being. Any woman who has given their life is a Wonder Woman to me. My mom was one of those women. Not sure what is going on at night in your poem…Wonder Gender Woman could go either way!

your day today is bright
but you are mostly every night,
women
For all the wonders of a super hero women can’t help but to be loving to their men.

Thank you for the tribute!
In truth, every one of us contains both those qualities called masculine and those called feminine, even though biologically draws us differently. It is in the sacred marriage, the hieros gamos that we are made whole.
Nice of you to salute the women of the world. Men deserve a reciprocal day of the year. Celebrate the human, I say!
I am going to be quite literal with my comment – Wonder Woman is my favorite.
Very nice, Bjorn. Wonder Women is certainly the ultimate women.
Thank you! As a woman, I’m very happy to accept this gorgeous poem – along wth many of my sisters, I see.
Oh my goodness! I blush, I love and as a woman I thank you so much. Love who you are too!
