The Woman--A Tribute To Maya Angelou

The woman wrote unapologetically of who she was, and what she longed for Told us how she saw life expressing joy from her being down deep in her soul from her soul, I tell you! The woman wrote passionately about who she was, and what she longed for Made us appreciate the nuances of every chosen word bubbling up like cool water in the heat of the day, I tell you! The woman wrote simplistically about who she was, and what she longed for Gave us those simple words that tell a simple truth from her innermost being never another like her, I tell you! written December 2, 2021

She was incredibly talented; and her heartfelt missives turned the world on its ear; never will there be anyone like Maya Angelou. Well done!

I think you right, Caren. No one else comes close in my opinion.

I concur with you ! Maya Angelou was an amazingly gifted poetess, so daring and self confident and took pride in being what she is, never cringing or crouching before insolent might. A wonderful tribute to her Milton

Yes, indeed, Tom. Glad you did that. Many of Miss Angelou's poems can be found here in P.S. Just type in Maya Angelou in the Poets box. I love her work.
