nice maya poem
and great response to it!
LOVED this part...
"with each breath I take
I reinvent myself
don't assume you know me
or the thoughts"
great imagery and smooth flow

I wrote this before going to my grandson's school function and it was rushed. I will have to work on it tomorrow. 😊
Thank you very much, Shelley

Comment from RJ Heritage
It is a powerful message that is well written and expressed. I like the colors and the picture that goes with it.
Maya Angolou is one if my favorite writers of all time.
I love her piem Phenomenal Woman, and I Rise. I tried to read this and not really compare, but to look at it as being inspired by her work of the same name.

I rushed writing this poem and it shows. I had a school event for my grandson. I disabled the poem and I will work on it tomorrow.
Thank you for your review. I was not trying to compare her poem to mine, of course not. I was inspired to write about myself and my self-esteem. She is my favorite poet. I met her in person at the University of Pacific, in Stockton, quite a few years ago. You should watch her video spoken word performance of "Phenomenal Woman"... it's awesome!

I did not mean to imply tthat you were. I was saying that because of loving her work so much, I tried to disassociate myself from my own bias. I sometimes do this, when I feel that there might be a name or other
aspect that mihht influence my being impartial.
That is why I looked at your poem as being Inspired by her work, but not comparing it. Hope that made sense.

Comment from Mike Stevens
Another fine poem, Gypsy....sounds like some of the women I've dated in the past, except they never gave me permission. I'd wait and hope, but in the end all I got was a scornful look and a door slammed in my face. Oddly enough, I'd settle for that now!
