Baby, it’s heart and soul. Black love loss story told. Bleeds with feelings so bold. Billie Holiday’s gold. Bessie Smith’s records sold. Became fast Rock and Roll. Birthed by life’s loveless toll. 10/17/2020 Pleiades 2 Poetry Contest Joseph May, Sponsor

"Baby, it's heart and soul" - that nails it right there, Janis. The story of loss and life's loveless toll. So well done, glad to see you get a #1 win with this. Hearty congrats ~ John

The blues, born from broken hearts and "bleeding" souls, so beautifully expressed, Janis. Best of wishes for the conest.
