I have had to do an essay on this poem talking about the extended metaphor
and the theme of the poem... i've been wondering what you guys think on my
idea
i think the theme is determination with a little bit of hurt and anger to
show that life "ain't been no crystal stair"

I love this poem, my son is in prison and wants to give up on all hope. I
sent it to him and he called crying to thank me ! How wonderful the
internet is to give us an opportunity to find such great works. Take care
all of you. Peace and Life is good

This poem is what ever Mother wants for their son.
Life isn't a rose bed.It is up to you. Made all your dreams come
true.Things will get you down. But get back up and do sometime about it.

Someone asked about the crystal stairs. They represent the good life.
Crystal is expensive, shiney, pretty and smooth. The hard stairs with bare
boards, tacks and darkness represents the harder life. Symbolism I
guess....don't quote my literary terms!
