I love Maya Angelou's Poems! ..I am A Fifteen Year Old Young African American Female Of Whom Finds Ms Maya Angelou's poems AMAZING because her poems actually make me think! At times I find myslef actually re-reading her poems over and over just to fine the messages and meaning of her words MS. MAYA ANGELOU YOU..Inspire Me!

This a short, sweet, and true piece Ms. Angelou. Women face this same occurance when deal with not only African-American men but men among any caliber. They give you praise and tell you how great you are but neither of them are ready to run with you afar.

This is such a beautiful piece. It really makes you think long and hard, about the men that sing your praises but do not stick around for reasons you will never know. It reminds me of a past relationship. Very well said, Ms Angelou.

That poem reminds me of me. Some of your poems I really love because I can relate to them, but this one takes the cake. It's a wonderful poem.

all i can say is wow. so sad yet so true, i found this very touching. made me think of all the men who tell you sweet things, and hold your heart in the palm of their hands with their charm, and yet.....'They Went Home'
