My favorite Poem.....



My favorite poem:

The desire to reach for the stars
Is ambitious.
The desire to reach hearts
Is wise.

-         Maya Angelou


This has been my favorite poem for a super long time. But I didn't actually understand it until around the 6th grade. I used to like it because it was short and easy to memorize, now I like it because of how true it is. And I agree with it as well, there is wisdom behind wanting to reach hearts and ambition in wanting to do your best and reach for the stars.

  1. for how short it is it has a ton of meaning. i think its a great choice and we should talk about what it means to each of us.
