The Roman Emperors would employ official court poets to praise their reign. This hack played that role for the Obama Administration.

Yet they can’t seem to remember any important dates.

I have always thought that Michael Savage missed his calling by not coming out with an album of him reading Maya Angelou poetry in his Bernie Sanders imitation.

And yet Easter they do nothing. Bing always had an Easter theme.

Her poetry is highly overrated. Full of self loathing references. Her books get bought but nobody reads them.

To be a good writer and poet one must be a fairly decent philosopher. She isn’t and just culturally mimicking better literary ideas and she practically fails at that.

At my last job before I retired, the Assistant Director of the department was an airy-fairy, head-in-the-clouds lady and she loooved Maya Angelou. I told everyone that I had only one request for my birthdays: Never, EVER, give me a card with anything by Maya Angelou! Don’t even think about it! (Low gag threshold.)

Gag me with a spoon. Her "creations" are horrible, painfully embarrassing in their awfulness. The empress has no clothes.

By lauding her substandard dross, Google falls guilty to the soft bigotry of low expectations.

It is hideous. Poor crayon “art” work to illustrate a terrible “poem.” I didn’t bother with the sound.

I never want to be so smart that I understand what the hell that leftist sesquipedalian babbler was talking about.

Angelou and Google are simply not in my sphere of influence.

"Still I Rise"

Woke up this morning, did a quick survey of kinks, aches and appendages, and thought those very words.

Happy happy.

I’m so glad I got my degree in English Literature before Maya Angelou was required reading.

We read Chaucer, Shakespeare, Pope, Emerson, Wordsworth, et al—you know, dead white guys.

I saw this yesterday and couldn’t figure out who it was. I’m sure that labels me as insensitive, out of touch, racist and in need of left wing “therapy” to get my head right.

If this woman was a “poet”, I’m a rocket scientist.

Okay, I do feel a little guilty that apparently she died four years ago and I didn't notice. I remember reading I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, and feeling that it was a good book.

When you have a serious ailment that will probably require surgery, never go to a “doctor” who writes poems.

So that’s what that is. Looked to me like the uppity broad who gave me a ration of feces the last time I visited the Department of Motor Vehicles to renew my registration.

‘Still I Rise’ but nothing for “He is Risen”.

I quit using Google because their doodles and/or lack thereof pi$$ed me off badly. I use Bing which has a beautiful photo every day.

Maya Angelou has to be the quintessential example of promoting race over ability.
