Maya Angelou (4 April 1928)

Ma, I'm in love with your poems as in love with you. Your poems are inspirational, sure and natural.
Wouldn't mind he you could check my poems and leave comments on each. Thanks ma

WoW! Maya, , , I really really touched by this poem and I love it. It speaks really load and clear though my ears hardly hear it, but my heart can see, feel, smell, taste and hear the the struggle within. Yeah, and though we might lack something, but this poem reminds us that we still have our pride. THUMPS UP! ! !

I did not know who she was at first but now i do and we might not know put she used to be somthing

I admit to not knowing who Maya Angelou is...shame on me...but learnging to develop on my own, my own poems...she is the first lady poet that as moved me to tears...we need her poems to grace the librarys of the world, she speaks from the heart..she makes you see what happens to women in her time her era...are there more like her out there in the world..shes brillant...shes intelligent...shes is as of this moment...my idol...is that a sin to have a person as an idol, no I dont think so, she shows that women can be who they want to be...so can we all.

So, loud and clear we hear statements that racism/discrimination on the grounds of colour and gender, have near been eradicated. But the subtle shadowed whispers that seep from darkened corners into the light, tell a completely different story... and those who know it, feel it! !

When one scans the comment from Dave O’leary, my point is made without further remark!

Still I Rise and Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou are a source of inspiration in times of need.

I really love this poem it has a very strong meaning.......

I think this poem is great! It has powerfull meaning! : D

No Loser, No Weeper

'I hate to lose something, '
then she bent her head
'even a dime, I wish I was dead.
I can't explain it. No more to be said.
Cept I hate to lose something.'

'I lost a doll once and cried for a week.
She could open her eyes, and do all but speak.
I believe she was took, by some doll-snatching-sneak
I tell you, I hate to lose something.'

'A watch of mine once, got up and walked alway.
It had twelve numbers on it and for the time of day.
I'll never forget it and all I can say
Is I really hate to lose something.'

'Now if I felt that way bout a watch and a toy,
What you think I feel bout my lover-boy?
I ain't threatening you madam, but he is my
evening's joy.
And I mean I really hate to lose something.'
