successfully invokes warranted emotion. engages reader in subject without preaching...or necessarily being too forthright. good job.

Interesting how someone like you can have so much empathy.

wooooooooooow...*ponders* wut iz it about?

oh...my...gosh...that...was...so...descriptive...it...was...kewl!
(sorry for all those periods. i had to calm myself down so it wouldn't be like this: OHMYGOSHTHATWASSODESCRIPTIVEITWASKEWL! i don't think u'd want that, hehe.)
it was like the Jews in Egypt or people in a sweatshop before the French Revolution. (no need to get all historical on ya.) ;) then the speaker returned to their room and i was like 'oooooohhhh, it was a vision or a dream or something like that.'
so what were u imagining when u wrote that? (gods_beauty@hotmail.com)

...could this review BE any longer? *smirk*

Morning Glory, I have to say that was your best piece I've read. You captured the roots of hateful slavery so well. But more so, you brought out the feelings of those chained and their descendents. Perhaps, deeper still, you caught the sorrow of the rest of us that wanted to help but didn't. Good job.

that pretty much sounds like how it wuz for the slaves in egypt when they built those pyramids...
anywayz, that wuz a great poem!! keep writing!

c'est excellent! You describe it so well-it makes me feel like I was actually there!
