Today I’m thankful for all those people
who stand out in a crowd…
Who, as Maya Angelou says…
try to be a rainbow…in someone else’s cloud.
A message of hope from Maya Angelou…
I bring to you this day…
She said:
Hope and fear cannot occupy the same space…
So why not invite hope to stay.
Ode to Maya Angelou
My mind often may be engaged;
When I found out it was caged,
Time devote;
Poems wrote;
I became furious and enraged.

I believe, as Maya Angelou believed
that we are all blessed with empathy…
We all know how to convey it…
Unfortunately, however, there are some of us
who lack the courage to display it.
For Dr Maya Angelou
Vanquished by the day one may be,
Beaten down by the barren night.
Faltering at times,
at times upright.
Still one stands.
One still fights.
For though one falls,
One must rise.

For today’s blessing I turn once again to Maya Angelou
whose words speak to people of all faiths and religions…
from Judaism to Islam to Christianity
May we be blessed not to die
without having done something wonderful for humanity.’
Comatose: inspired by Insomniac by Maya Angelou, for Joann’s Copycat contest
There are some morns when
Sleep conquers,
Heavy and masterful.
And all the tricks
That I groggily try
To shake it from my head
Are futile as raising the dead,
And much less hopeful.
These times when there is so much hatred in the world
I am grateful for the words of Maya Angelou
which always help me cope:
Love recognizes no barriers.
It jumps hurdles, leaps fences,
penetrates walls to arrive at its destination
full of destination…
full of hope.
Maya
Truthful, enthusiastic, prolific, kind
People will never forget how she made us feel
If you do not like something, she said, change it.
An American poet, singer, poetess
She published seven autobiographies
Pouring her pain out to help others.
Helping us to do the same
Angelou
May we one day be blessed
to enlighten our point of view…
when it comes to prejudice and discrimination
and realize what Maya Angelou knew
How prejudice and discrimination….
once unleashed it is irrepressible….
a burden that confuses the past
threatens the future
and renders the present inaccessible
Nothing can dim the light that shines from within. ~Maya Angelou
You are perfect
in all of your imperfections.
What imperfections?
I ask.
Exactly!
He responds.
it was not true love
the only true love is God
and Christ on the cross
bearing the imperfections
so light can shine out from me
May be Maya Angelou or Martin Luther King,
Who with some marvelous story will bring,
Lifelong friend,
To their end;
To us all, they meant more than anything.
Jim Horn
That sure has been quick response;
From someone would not absconce;
Always prepared;
Never scared;
On another poem start and pounce.
Jim Horn
“A wise woman wishes to be no one’s enemy; a wise woman refuses to be anyone’s victim.” - Maya Angelou
The infamous feminist and activist Maya Angelou
She was a powerful force to recon with and to know
Her feminist and civil right beliefs were strongly expressed
As she bravely spoke her mind to try put injustices to rest
Poet ,Maya Angelou, born Marguerite Annie Johnson, a Pulitzer Prize-winner who was also a dancer, an actress and a singer.A simple ten liner about those ' long-ago rooms ' we poets love to recall in what ever style we prefer..be it rhymed short verse or open style used here in a succinct list form .Memorable memories materialised.
THE POETS PLUCK Maya Angelou
ON THE PULSE OF MORNING
a new dawn will arise, hungry baby cries
STILL I RISE
dry baby's eyes
PASSING TIME
WHEN YOU COME HOME
off to work I'll tread
INSOMNIAC, half dead, I moan
prayed TO BE TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL
I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS
a MOMMA WELFARE ROLL
No medicine for baby, and no baby swings

Last night
You were my Ray Charles song
My Maya Angelou Poem...
Didn't we experience forever
during that moment
you brought my soul home?
Bob Marley plays on Pandora
in that long episode
to be continued
my mind was blowed...
I liked it best when we danced slow.
There are some things that will last forever
Like that memory
I will never let it go.
Maya Angelou proclaiming
She knows why the caged bird sings
While a raven Says forevermore
Brings to mind Edgar Allan Poe
Sir Walter Raleigh did inspire
with his poem "Like truthless dreams my Joys expire"
Emily Dickenson gave us many wonderful verses
"Apparently with no surprise" being among the first
For sonnets with poetic flair
None can compare
To the great William Shakespeare
I could remember in school reading maya Angelou does the caged bird sing
That gave me dreams
To believe
To bring
My words
My journey
Of peace
Inside I scream but nobody ever hears
My daughter wants to be a lawyer
But how do I calm all of her fears
I tell her to courageous
Look life right in its eyes
Live, laugh, and love
But never forget gods light
I guess that what I should say
To be what you think I should be
Your definition of poetry
I’m sorry
But I respectfully decline
Write like Shakespeare, Frost or Angelou
Emulate what all other poets do
I’m sorry
But I respectfully decline
Copy, pretend or try to be
Anything other than Kimberly
I’m sorry
But I respectfully decline
Live my life by what others say
Change any part of me today
I’m sorry
But I respectfully decline
I know why the caged bird sings,
and why our phone always rings,
because of you.
I know why the sea is blue,
because it hasn't found anyone new.
I need shelter from the storm.
I wish it was warm.
I know why the sky turns black,
because it's never looked back.
Why do you always sit on the porch,
looking like a clockwork orange.
Dedicated To Maya Angelou.
