I’ve tried Google and a couple of poetry archives, and I simply don’t know enough to search; I must rely on other’s interpretation of my anecdotes.
It’s a fairly famous poem, I think. It’s verses that start off with “Do I…” and result in a question; here’s the meter:
“Do I (BLAH-blah BLAH-blah BLAH-blah-BLAH)?” Something like that. Dare I say that this poem is of African-American legacy, as well?
Many thanks if you can help.
No idea. “Do I dare to eat a peach?” is the only line that comes to mind, but that’s T.S.Eliot (The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock") and it’s only one line in a long poem.
Any chance that it could be Maya Angelou’s Still I Rise?
Is it A Dream Deferred?
Still I Rise is it. Why I mentally passed over Ms. Angelou, I’ll never know.
Thanks a bunch, and especially for dealing with such scant information!
You’re quite welcome.
I answer vague questions for a living, so this was an easy one.
