There are no rules for poetry surely William. That is why it is poetry.

My complaint simply is this. The works of Maya Angelou fail to enteract with the realm of symbolism. Symbolism is the poet's safe haven, a cavern in which they dwell to reflect upon the hours. It is how they express themselves to accuratley relate to others experiences and thoughts. Without the use of symbolism the poem has only a foundation but no would and nails.

This poem is too beautiful and a bit sad... anyone who has been in a 'what could have been' love situation will definately relate and take comort. A lot of people do come across what could be their greates love but distance or circumstances prevails... and all that you are left with is the good memories of that great moment. Beautiful!

In my view this has much more power than Phenomenal Woman. So succinct and so poignant in its depiction of the power and essence of the boundless emotion of love. It strikes right to the heart of the matter in a handful of words.
