Maya Angelou (4 April 1928)

Great Poem, thank you. I feel this Poem fits life as I have seen it. There are powerful and phenomenal women within our presence and this Poem helps describes, to some extent, the seeds of power. I am a man. I ask of other men: Have you not met a women who takes your breath away? And you may wonder why, well this Poem may help understand why.

Love the poem. But, unfortunately, I note that it still contains vestiges of patriarchy. Three of the four stanzas refer to the impression that she makes on men. As if she, as a woman, were to derive her value from men. Hence, the reliance on men works at cross purposes to the moral of the poem, that a woman's value comes from within.

As dark as the sun, congratulation.

Poop

poop is such a relief to do
getting rid of all the crap in you

food in your mouth
shit out your south
the cycle relentessly continue

whether many or a few
turds in you
eject easily or slowly drag thru

daily it's the same
as your bowels proclaim
'once again the shit is due! '

this poem isn't profound
about that lovely brown mound
some in fact will think it crap
and i humbly agree
with all that's bottled up
inside me

Only a phenomenal woman can write such a phenomenal poem. I love this!

I love this poem... this was the poem that saved my sisters life when she almost committed suicide. I owe my sisters life to the Phenomenal woman who wrote this.
