My thoughts on this poem are that it is about a woman trying to battle old
age. Angelou uses a contradiction that makes sense and that is that the
more she loves to live, the more she dies. It is a brillaint piece of work.

i feel like it could almost be talking about a tree in a sense. the lines
are the lines of the bark the dying every winter whith the cold. and the
vines of the tree that regrow each year making it bigger. thats my view

No Sharron it was not confusing! You obviously dont have a poetic mind.
Poems dont have to rhyme and you have to think deeper in order to
understand it. The meaning of the poem isnt gonna come hit you in the face
right away(like i wish my fist would!). This poem is amazing! Maya is a
great poet. Maya Angelou and Shel Silverstein are my two favorite poets.
Maya's poems deal with mature topics and require a higher level of
thinking.

To die is to be born again(to live), to live is to die.
