Too bad skin has to define us by a few. We are all the same under it and have the same needs and feelings. A frightening verse Wilma, don't know if I could look at the movie. Luv, Lizzie

I have not seen the movie. If your senryu set accurately describes the plot, I think I will pass on seeing it.

A must see movie, I saw the trailor for it but haven't had the chance to view it... At first I thought it was about dating outside our races, which I have in my past and I must say on both sides the ignorence was strong... which made me write "What My Eyes See Now" Happy 2012 to to you!!! luv Michael

You know Wilma, I haven't seen "For Coloured Girls". My Andrea saw that and said to me, "Mama, you don't want to see that. It was really sad...Reading your Senryu, now I get it. I know it'll do well..you seem to have captured the scene well! Best of luck! Love, Annalise

#mile ˜ I absolutely love coloured girls * White, black, brown, yellow, red * it doesn't matter because, I was raised to love, beautiful girls * Thus, I could never relate a guy as mentioned or alluded unto above * My love, always & forever, John!:) ˜

I was sadden while reading this work..It brought to mind Michael Jackson holding his son out a window..I am holding my breath hoping that he doesn't accidentally drop the child..I am not of color for I am very pale but I read this one anyway..Thanks for stopping by, reading, and commenting on my work..Sara
