Great write Eve. Just wanted to know what mistake I made in my fireworks. Was it because of spelling mistakes of syllable. If you could comment below my poem, I would know, just curious and want to improve. Thanks and Hugs. Have a wonderful day ahead. Take care Rama

Wow, this is so powerful, Eve. In only 12 words and 17 syllables..Especially when one thinks of the time and place this happened, long before woman's rights and children were see and not heard.
