Sometimes the things that pop into my head, though true, are better left unwritten.

Is she the one who wrote...”Kill my landlord....Kill my landlord....C-I-L-L my landlord”?

Someone who was called a poet. You wouldn’t have gotten that impression if you read anything by her.

Former poet laureate of the US and liberal activist. Highly celebrated by the Left.

Unfortunately, I won’t have time to mourn today: must put air in the tires, floss my teeth and go to the drycleaners.

You’ll know in 30 years when you’re enduring her poetry on the 30th annual Maya Angelou Day: the most solemn day in the USSA.

The liberal media and the WH will canonize her a saint by the end of the day. May God have mercy on her soul.

That was poet Tyrone Green who wrote that masterpiece.

I won’t necessarily say good riddance, but it is evident that this woman had zero talent for writing poetry.

Never read her stuff but I can bet its lousy.
