by Senna Jawa
is too pared back for me to get a sense of it, which is readers fault, but this, this is some powerful thought provoking reading Senna!
It certainly is a good one, and one I'll be reading again a few times. It really gets the gears turning over quite a bit, and makes me stop to consider. Well done.
Light and heavy at the same time. And it reminded me of Michener's The Source - perhaps because his book put that part of history in perspective for me. Your poem does it in such a more punchy, more effective way - not to mention with many fewer words (LOL).
I'm so glad Todski chose to highlight your poem.

that your poetry is "pared down". Like you told me, poetry is more effective without the author's BS and you certainly do not litter your work with opinion or abstract judgement. The poem made me think....I need more of that
