WOMAN by Nikki Giovanni
In this poem I feel that the character wants to be independent from a man. She feels this way because maybe she feels down because she wants to do something but he won't let her.the poem says. "She wanted to be a blade of grass amid the fields but he wouldn't agree to be the dandelion she wanted to be a robin singing through the leaves but he refused to be her tree"
When she is looking to be comforted he tells her no so she go's and look for a safe place to rest. The poem says "She spun herself into a web and looking for a place to rest turned to him but he stood straight declining to be her corner."
In this poem the man is pulling her down. Maybe he just not suporting her Like she wants him to. Or maybe she just wants to be independ from a man.
