Please share a favorite poem by Maya Angelou with me.
I Love the Look of Words Popcorn leaps, popping from the floor of a hot black skillet and into my mouth. Black words leap, snapping from the white page. Rushing into my eyes. Sliding into my brain which gobbles them the way my tongue and teeth chomp the buttered popcorn.
When I have stopped reading, ideas from the words stay stuck in my mind, like the sweet smell of butter perfuming my fingers long after the popcorn is finished.
I love the book and the look of words The weight of ideas that popped into my mind I love the tracks Of new thinking in my mind. |
