This poem is amazing because of the fact she has so much power and
determindation, it brillant to see a women like Maya Angelou writing a poem
like this! It's also singficant that in the first stanza its all breathe
taking because its like a list but after the first stanza she seems to be
more relaxed and the thng what keeps her moving is nature itself because
she doesnt own anything in this poem and i find this truely amazing that
she has and also will be the greatest poets! By the way, im only 15 so if
i've undersood anything wrong please let me know. But i love Maya's poem
and im sure many more people agree!
Love you guys and thanks for reading :)
Peace Out!

Ashley, I don't agree with you solely because you cannot correctly type or
form sentences. "do any one agree with me" Does anyone agree?

norine, you are a braindead. What are there besides those of "both men and
women." Please stop trolling message boards with your BiPolar story fishing
for sympathy. Norine, please stop this ignorance i beg you.

I wanted you to know how much your poetry has influenced my life and
encouraged me through tough times, and in good times it has inspired me.
You see I am Bipolar and that can be very rough but in my darkest hours i
turn to God, Prayer and Your Poetry. I would also like you to know that I
am a white woman who very proudly calls you her favorite inspirational
poet who inspires all races of both men and women. My sincerest
gratitude and please continue to write prolifically.

I was at work & got tired of just thinking of all that has to be done when
I get home. I decided to google you & I have to say your poem has
brightened my day! My kids are awesome & I really don't mind doing anything
for them but your poem made me smile at all that we actually do in a day.
Once again Ms. Maya you have lifted a woman's spririts. May God Bless You &
Heaven Smile Upon You.

my opinion to this poem is it a poem based on something true that most
housewives have to do no matter what other circumstances are.no matter how
much you try to get away from the routines you end up having to do it
because its a pattern in your life.

This poem not only critisizes the situation of women, but rejoices in the
power of women to overcome the tasks they are often burdened with. The
speaker may not exactly be looking forward to completing her work, but she
certainly does not let herself become bogged down by her responsibilities.
THIS is the lesson Maya Angelou is sending. It is not feministic, but
universal. We all have our jobs to do, but it is in our ability to
recognize the LIGHT in them that we can truly shine.
