Maya Angelous Phenominal Woman
I have read Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou. I enjoyed this poem. I think that it has a positive message, and people can relate to it. This poem is really pretty. The rhythm flows beautifully throughout the entire piece. I think this is a good poem for people who are not very familiar with poetry. The beat is easy to find, but it isn't too simple. Many times, I have read poems in which I have difficulty finding the rhythm, or the rhythm isn't consistent through the whole poem. I also like the way that the words sound like they belong there.

I think this takes away from a poem because it kind of makes you pause in the middle of the flow. There are many wonderful people who don't quite fit the standard of this MTV culture that we live in. I would like to close with a quote from Al Franken's popular Saturday Night Live character, Stuart Smalley. Well I do know one thing; the song isn't the same without the bass. People are so quick to judge others on their outward appearance that they don't take the time to get to know the person inside.
