Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Phenomenal Maya

Maya Angelou did so weave

Such wondrous word fabric in art,

Wishing each wearer might believe

Language can clothe the yearning heart

With a richness propelling one

To rise above and beyond all,

Cloaked in a worthiness pure spun.

And shared with others does enthrall

To say and write such words to be

Impassioned to strive to fulfill

I, the Rock, the River, the Tree,

And live the life of rising still.

Phenomenal woman, agreed,

Be Maya Angelou, indeed.
