Hello!
Sincerely thank you for your writing!
I read it once again!
The poem was very well written. It was just fine.
The rhythm and rhyme is good I think.
Each stanza was well written. The structure is good.
The stress in the final lines is common to this poem.
I liked that you had your idea and developed it throughout the poem.
The subject was clear.
I also liked the symobolic meanings very much indeed.
I wish all the very best when you get next comment!
I am sorry I cannot give you more stars because I have the highest 5
and I do not know why all reviewers have 6 stars at the beginning only, on this web site.
I really appreciate your writing.

Yours sincerely,
GINTARAS KAVARSKAS, professional English writer

I liked your poem very much. Technically, it flowed well, the rhymes seem natural and not at all forced. There's great imagery, too..."My color born from the pigment of two A smooth, rich blend of dark coffee brew".
You have captured the race struggle beautifully. Good luck in the contest!

You are right. Love and commitment can fend off the illogical protectionist hegemony of the puritan(?). At heart the shades of races bear no traces at all. It is all imaginary, a ploy to retain the monopoly. This poem is extra-ordinary in that it throws open the doors of matrimonial high handedness of yesteryears. Thank God that human race has got over such immaturities now.

This is the second of two reviews, in two days. The world view in the first might have prepared me for another world view; each displaying maturity and an understanding uncommon. Most esteemed of this poem ( message a caveat ), is a focus on family and individuals within that family. The author's take on the artwork is valued as well. The two people portrayed appear to be siblings. D.

    This piece was a blessing to me but I am just a portal for the words to flow through. It is my craft but I really can not take more than a speck of credit. I hope I can share more with you in the future. Thank you?

Excellent. I know its true that people are prejudice and you would think that after all that has gone on through the years that we could finally put it behind us as a human race but it sill lives on in cold hearts and closed minds. Those who can rise above are strong in character and integrity and in a better place than those who cast the stones. Thank you. Marilyn

    I am humbled by your connection to the piece and can only offer my thanks for your time and incredible words of support. Sometimes a piece hits a specific nerve, reminding us of a river that we have seen in our dreams or the Popsicles we shared at Grandma?s house during the fourth of July.

This work has reached the exceptional level

I just love the sentiments in this Blue... Some poetry just hits the spot and this one did for me. I live in a multicultural society where we are still learning to live together. The words you use are beautiful.(so are the words in your profile) I am struggling to pick bits out, since I like it all, but; "My color born from the pigment of two A smooth rich blend of dark coffee brew." and "We strive to achieve our individual dreams Ignoring barriers and xenophobic schemes."....and the rest.....
6's are rare, so when I see one, I get excited. Beautiful, and good look in the contest.
Marilyn.
