A Woman is the Wilderness
Her roots started at her base
But have spread for miles across the forest floor
Uninhibited
Uncut.
A Woman is the Wilderness
Her leaves stretching high above the canopy
Unashamed to grasp the sun.
A Woman is the Wilderness
Life flourishes in her care
Her Leaves provide shade
But she knows better than to ensnare.
About the author
Joelle Foote
I am a freshman at Moraine Valley Community College. Of the classes I have taken so far, my favorites are my poetry class, my Drawing 101 class and my 2D design class. I’ve learned so much in these classes from both my teachers and my peers, and I am excited to keep doing so. As my favorite classes hint to, I am a very creative person and love to draw, sing, read and write. In the future I plan to become an author and illustrator.
