Thomas, I hate racial segregation, well written tanka, 7 and let me say wow to your Crossings and Reflections Site, I had fun viewing your poetry and book reviews and Photography, love those cat pictures and the others too. You are one talented man. So I have a good grasp now on what you are seeking in your new contest, so pen in hand here we go . . . oh btw your review of truer than true romances was very good, seems like a hilarious comic book series, must look for it

yes....looking back isn't always a pretty sight. Some things were so unacceptable, and yet they were allowed to exist in a "civilized" society. Civilized??
