RE: A Dead Poems Society Production, Round 4, Contest and Community Building
What a great idea. Thank you @prydefoltz for this oppurtunity.
I wrote this almost at the start of my journey here. It combines my love of earth and hatred of trafficking. Check it out and let me know what you think.
wow vivid and powerful, like a poetic shot to the gut...
Powerful writing about the damage that humans do to Mother Earth, also extrapolated to any mother, in some turns and, perhaps, even to the "voice". Excellent work, @firststeps.
Wow. A powerful conviction of humanity’s usurious stewardship of our only earth. (I commented with the preceding on your original post)
I’d vote twice for it, if I could!
Read it twice. Loved it. Every word is strong, the first and final line of each stanza gives you a deep, cyclic feeling. It also made me remember Aronofsky's movie Mother.
So would I've found your work on Steemit, @firststeps ♥
Powerful lines.
Old and New World slavery, white slave trade, women trafficking, prostitution, clandestine pornography... You got me to imagine terrible scenes from news, tales and movies. Vexation is the word that defines the mood in your piece.
Any writer can learn from this piece the importance of objective correlative to convey message and effect--and affect.
