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.

Im studying this poem for my GCSEs and i know how women are treated. I
think that this poem shows that perfectly. It shows that she has a very
mundane and monotonous life, how like she is trapped in a vortex that will
never end. It goes around and around like a wheel. Women still need to do
work like her as well. It may not be such a huge issue now because women
can work and they couldnt back when the poem was set. Either way this is a
touching poem that hopfully inspires a lot of people. I particullaly like
the like stanza 2-5 where it shows that she is appealing to nature. I hope
this message helps you.
