Did anybody else see the possible reference to a woman being left by a man
when she discovers she is preganant? " Did you want to see me broken? ...
eyes lowered ( in shame?)
Constant referneces to the moon and tides and the connection to women's
menstruation? "I am a black ocean ... swelling tides'? To me it is almost
like a strong women refusing to be 'broken' when she discovers she is
preganant and erjected by a lover ... Still I'll rise

This poem let's people know. No matter what you think of me or what you say
about me I will still rise through the pain and headaches of the world I
will still rise. I will be triumphant. I will still be successful no
matter what you do to me. So say what you want, do what you what. I don't
care I will succeed anyway. That's Awesome. Great words of wisdom

I think this poem is above all the best work I ever seen with so much
dignity and with so much class she presented herself in this poem and made
us visualize the experiences faced by every black male and female who
troddens upon the grounds of this earth every single day of thier lives.
That's why above all we are great and superior and for the one's who hatin
keep on hating because she's something that you're not and for that you are
pitiful. We the Black people rise, we rise, we rise. HA HA HA! WE WIN.

quoute : My native country spits on stuff like this, if you want my opinion
try some other type or literature. Perhaps comedy/drama for short stories.

To the person who says that this poems seems to be amateurish and lacking
emotion, I say, not when read by the author. There was a public service
announcement, I believe for the NAACP or teh Negro College Fund, in which
Angelu very simply reads the last part of the poem (from 'Out of the
huts...'). It tended to air late at night, so whenever I heard it from the
television, it resonated in the stillness of the night and commanded your
attention. Try finding some live recordings to change your perspective.
Have you ever experiences that sensation on a dance floor when you know you
are offbeat and you feel like everyone is watching you? It's teh same
feeling I'm sure you have when you read this poem, because you just don't
get it.
