The Poets Pluck

THE POETS PLUCK Maya Angelou ON THE PULSE OF MORNING a new dawn will arise, hungry baby cries STILL I RISE dry baby's eyes PASSING TIME WHEN YOU COME HOME off to work I'll tread INSOMNIAC, half dead, I moan prayed TO BE TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS a MOMMA WELFARE ROLL No medicine for baby, and no baby swings 2/21/17
