Still I Rise

Shanhu Lee

– Parody of Maya Angelou’s “Still I Rise”

You may shame me with your finger,

You may scourge me with your lies,

You may smear me with your hatefulness,

But still, like the Moon, I will rise,

And still, like hummingbirds, I will bloom.

    Shanhu, I just read your “Still I Rise” and I like it. We met on the flight from Atlanta to Boston last Sunday. I would like to talk more with you about poetry and prosody. Thanks.
