The Crazy Woman Poem by Gwendolyn Brooks

Yes, it sounds like a light-hearted verse- it makes you smile or chuckle and nod your head. But flip it over and take another look. I see that her sad soul and her sad sad song fits into gray November..... but I am said to be a pessimistic sort so perhaps it is only me having a case of mistaken identity.

This poem is sort of funny with a dark twist.

haha i really like this poem. it's kind of funny, but it makes sense to me. it really hits me because it's how i feel sometimes. i'm all about the sad songs/poems, and know what it's like to have others think you're crazy because they expect you to snap out of the sadness, and just be happy. good stuff!

Yep I can sing that way! ! ! ! How fun I should not sing in May but pretty soon! youv'e got rythm Phebe

Its like a little crazyness with the women I agree with THAT.

Brilliant song poem with a bit of ironic twist. Most deserving as The Modern Poem Of The Dsay.5 Top stars

Beautiful poem well penned.

Amazing poem, so beautifully said and aptly worded. Congratulations on being chosen as The Modern Poem Of The Day. Hoorray! 5 Stars for this fantastic song! True fascinating.

I'll wait until November That is the time for me. I'll go out in the frosty dark And sing most terribly. Singing in the darkness. a very fine poem. tony
