Maya Angelou
Born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1928
Author, Poet, Activist, Artist and mother
My most respected
Black female poet
Penned some of my favourite poems
Caged bird
Phenomenal woman
Still I rise
Alone
As a child I read her book
I know why the caged bird sings
The book touched me
Was re-read many times
Maya Angelou
Is an inspiration
Achieved so much
And had an open heart
April 4 1928 – may 28 2014

She was a remarkable woman. I've read her poems and her Bio and I respect her for being such a gifted writer, poet and strong African American woman. She will truly be missed.

I've idolized her and she's one of the reasons why I write poetry.
I miss her very much and I cried my eyes out when she died so I miss her, but am thankful she died peacefully and not brutally like some other stars. she was a remarkable woman and my favorite poem by her was Phenomenal Woman.

Maya's beauty is so rich is several ways
we are better when that is echoed in our days
overcoming hardships and turning cold
deep seeded courage and not afraid to be bold
a favorite of a president I collected her words from that day
when he took the oath office her words held so much sway
thank you for sharing such a marvelous treasure
and for giving my eyes such a rewarding pleasure!
