Rating: 5.0


Browsing, exploring, reading,
The poems of Poem Hunter is like
Breezing, flying or sailing,
Through a fairy tale land of
Beauty, charm and wonder!

Maya Anjelou rises above all
Making her poem - "Still I Rise"
Most admired,
Most popular,
Most read poem on top of the chart
Much above the ‘moons' and the ‘suns',
Managing the ‘tides' and the ‘hopes' that
Mesmerises and 'springs up' in wonder.

Dear Maya,
I wish you were here to see
How high you have risen
Standing tall, above all the other poets
In lofty heights of great esteem and splendour.
You have, indeed, risen, risen, risen!

I bow down to you
Dear beloved Poetess Maya!
Magnificent lady of honour,
Most deserving.
Most celebrated
‘Phenomenal Woman' of the century!

Great tribute to one of the most respected contemporary poets in English literature. Like Dr Martin Luther King Jn, she, too, lent moral strength to those who were left behind in the race for social equality. Through her poetry and through her lectures, she worked tirelessly against racial discrimination and also for asserting the rights of women in the society. Thanks this powerful tribute to Maya Angelou, Dear Geeta ji.

A laudable attempt to honour the great poet Maya Angelou. The discerning intellect of Geeta in not confining the poet as an AFRICAN or Feminist is specifically applauded. Because she is way above any such compartmentalisation.
