Men and women to create a different meaning in poetry, but in the sense of - the language of religion is one of the important. Sincerely outs around like they're over.

This is the first Maya Angelou poem I have ever read and I must say I was blown away. It made me think of my wife, my daughter, my mother and all the phenomenal women I have know and it made my heart swell.
Great poem. I have met some of those!
If u can't appreciate, then don't even criticise.
The poem is as lovely as any woman and the writer too :)
Cheers.

Dana Anna, Grow up and stop tryn to pin point your absent minded views and disturbed lack of appreciation. For the uplifting and empowerment of woman. This poem isn't bashing beautiful. I am a very beautiful woman. And I feel as though this poem is about leeting the world know that Beauty isn't all a woman has going for her. She have wits and smarts, education and determination. She is a mother, a sister, a friend and a Mighty Woman. Ugly, pretty, short, tall... know that your worth is well above your looks and outter appeareance. And sad as it is Dana, you are one of those ppl who take the realities of life for granted. At the end of the day... Grow up and realize a pretty don't get u too far in this day and age.

If narcissism is what you see portrayed in this poem, then I must say yours is a narrow mind indeed.
