Maya Angelou (4 April 1928)
Poems by Maya Angelou : 2 / 27
A Conceit
Give me your hand
Make room for me
to lead and follow
you
beyond this rage of poetry.
Let others have
the privacy of
touching words
and love of loss
of love.
For me
Give me your hand.

I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings
Maya Angelou

A very touching poem. I see and feel in this
poem a sense of longing for togetherness.
We are all one, no man is an island. Very
spiritual.
The mysticism of the poem reverberates in the reader's consciousness while the poet wants to rise higher hand in hand with supreme being. Simple but powerful poem.
Great work....tht's why i admire you.
Great piece of work with the muse of love.
E.K.L.
Within a short and simple word, love has been defined. Brilliant
Brillant write...just as all of hers are...
I admire her so.

A rejected Hallmark card
A gentle but powerful read. It is all things Maya!
This is real poetry. Poetry is nothing before the person whose hand she wants to hold for all her feelings belong to him then what is left for the poetry? Great poem.
Awesomely Spoken and written Ms. Angleou,
I love the script of words used on a former sitcom you were on.... You said that to write is not to impress, but instead to be happy with yourself and with what you write is more important This is helping me. Thank You...I as well have liked your acting that I have seen. And you have captured the hearts of many.. You are such a Blessed Woman, Indeed.
