I enjoyed how it all leads up to a positive and dramatic last line. Congratulations on your placement. I just noticed that your first and last name rhyme. How cool is that! (I admit I have no idea to pronounce either name.) ... CayCay

Its easy...i'll teach u...the n is kinda silent so my name sounds the same as 'Jerry' . and the last name is a story by itself..I'll tell you one day. Thanks CayCay and good day

I read your poem, Njeri! An abbreviated "testimony" that reminds all of what this road is like. Good one! L
