Dear Phil,

Thank you for your thoughts on Maya Angelou, one amazing lady is she!

The poem you mentioned 'On the pulse of morning'  when I read it I tend to draw a Biblical significance from it...and there is so much hard truth to it...such depth and meaning. Simply one of her greatest works.

I hope to get hold of a biography and do some reading up..and uptill now its always been her poetry that I read.

Bless you Phil for being part of this  special time with us.

Have a great week

Hi Geketa,

nice to see you here, and thanks for the kind words too !

hmmmm 'drawl in spirit' you say, well I guess she was trying to make a point with that too...making sure we get the point.  But RISE she did didnt she...how ever slow the times were in the day she wrote that..that too didnt stop her from giving up and she soared like an eagle....love that spirit I see in her every work. Awesome...!!!!

Have fun & stay blessed

hugzzzz

Hi Pauline,

Great author, poetess, fighter for civil rights and so much more and worthy to be featured here.

Her poem is a lesson in determination, not giving up and optimism. I enjoyed reading it very much.

Maya Angelou is to be respected and admired for her courage and outspokenness.

Shalom,

Peter
