That's exactly what I mean or at least what I am assuming. There's nothing wrong with an opinion but that's all you really offered and it comes off a bit rude. What you really mean to say is, "I don't understand the big deal with this lady or her writing." That's completely okay but just ragging the poems kinda silly. And I do notice that a lot of people here are blindly giving their condolences and being overly dramatic("The caged bird is free"... Really,dude?).

With poetry you have to consider the time period, the subject matter, the poet's background... stuff like that. So her poetry doesn't rhyme or flow well. A lot of well known poems don't! But Maya Angelou was a writer from the Jim Crow South so that's interesting in and of itself and she was probably one of the only ones that was still around today, so that is why people are mourning.

Her writing is more like personal accounts from a really different time. I enjoyed what she wrote, If you don't like what's been posted then dig a little deeper maybe you will too but it helps to consider more than rhyming or how "good it is".
