Members wendybird74 Posted March 19, 2012 Members Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Still I RiseYou may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? 'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise. Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops. Weakened by my soulful cries. Does my haughtiness offend you? Don't you take it awful hard 'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines Diggin' in my own back yard. You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I'll rise. Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I've got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs? Out of the huts of history's shame I rise Up from a past that's rooted in pain I rise I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear I rise Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise I rise I rise.Maya Angelou :http://www.poemhunter.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wendybird74 Posted March 19, 2012 Members Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Last poem but this one is one I t Phenomenal WomanPretty 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 teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Men themselves have wondered What they see in me. They try so much But they can't touch My inner mystery. When I try to show them They say they still can't see. I say, It's in the arch of my back, The sun of my smile, The ride of my breasts, The grace of my style. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Now you understand Just why my head's not bowed. I don't shout or jump about Or have to talk real loud. When you see me passing It ought to make you proud. I say, It's in the click of my heels, The bend of my hair, the palm of my hand, The need of my care, 'Cause I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me.Maya Angelou :http://www.poemhunter.com/hink every woman should have with them always as well as the one above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members WendyNY Posted March 19, 2012 Members Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 What an awesome thread Ready !! There is only one that comes to mind for me.I first heard it years ago while watching the 1961 movie "Splendor In The Grass". I think I was 16 or so when I first saw it. The movie had a huge impact on me.I loved it so much that I even purchased the DVD not long ago.It featured Natalie Wood and Warren Beatty. The were in high school and very much in love.Their parents did not approve of them dating as they came from opposite types of families. It showed the pressures of sex, temptations and desires that we all go through during those difficult teenage years.This movie was even a bit racy. The topic of teenage sex in the movies was very controversial in the year 1961.The lines of the poem below were discussed in great detail during an English class in the movie.While this is not the poem in it's entirety, these particular lines have always had great significance to me-as they remind me of different periods of my life.:.Though nothing can bring back the hourOf splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;We will grieve not, rather findStrength in what remains behind; William Wordsworth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
