Yess, we starting poetry :)

I love poetry because poetry is another way to show and explain how you feel about many things whether its love or even the economy. One of favorite poems is Still I Rise by Maya Angelou:
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.

That was just half of the poem because its quite long. I enjoy this poem because it is telling women stand strong and believe in yourself don't let nobody put you down because of the way you look because you are beautiful. I can't wait to start poetry in class and I hope we read some good poems.
