Hi. This is apoignant poem. It nails the style and has a quiet dignity to it.
Good luck in the contest. I will make sure to vote.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Oh... I am so thrilled that I have another 6 to give as an honor for as gorgeous a poem as this.

Your words: I was going to say they need to be read aloud. But, if they are read aloud, what a waste not to dance to them.

Your lines have an almost perfect pitch. I leave the "almost" because I am no expert on poetry. But, I do believe such an expert would confidently remove it.

Bless you, Amahra, for all you've done here.

Very nice, amahra, and you're right, slavery is one of this nation's biggest, nasty stains. The other, in my humble opinion, is the treatment of Native American Indians by the white man.

A compelling portrait for a compelling poem.

Well done.
