Maya Angelou
Phenomenal Woman
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my ...
Touched By An Angel
We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.

She is a great poet for sure.

Indeed a great poet. I read her phnenomenal woman. It's my all time fav.
She was a great poet. Although I haven't read much of her poetry, I'd say 'Phenomenal Woman' is my all-time favorite. Any criticism is just nonsense.
To A Poemhunter, Who Would Praise Certain Bad Poets, Imitators Of The Art
You say, as you have often given tongue
In praise of what another's said or sung,
'Twere politic to do the like by these;
But was there 'er a dog that praised a flea
As awful as Angelou?
Quattro of five cento?
Phenomenally Ridiculous
Quattro of five cento?
Not by work or base-born product,
Only by dint of birth.
Shame and scorn on you.
Huntsman Rody blow your horn,
This hound can hunt no more.
Has the talent and skill of good poets. These poems are a joy to read.
Nice poem
We have lost a True mother, she is such an example and a great poetess.
