The poem i choose was called Still I Rise by Maya Angelou. I choose this for no particular reason other than the fact that I knew who Maya Angelou was before today and this poem happened to be the first one I came across. After reading her poem a few times I can admit that poetry is growing on me already and that it serves far more that just rhyming words on paper. Her poem is about her will to resist; not just to resist forces pushing her down but to strive to be the best she possibly can be. Through this poem she does exactly that, she writes how there is nothing that can keep her down.
I enjoyed her poem very much, i especially like they patterns she used and the way it flowed. I felt the most important part was in the last stanza when she repeats herself 3 times at the very end and in doing so it gives her writing more power.
