L Milton Hankins Poet Acrostic

Kamala

Knocked down a pervasive glass ceiling 
And left the racist bigots reeling,  
Meteoric rise to Vice-Presidency 
And the praise for her ascendency 
Lets little girls know the sky is the limit 
And, in America, that is the prevailing spirit.

Barry Freeman May 26, 2021 at 5:41 AM Great poem for a great woman. Perhapsthe thrid line would scan better if you could remove the Vice before Presidency. Fingers crossed, maybe one day/ L Milton Hankins May 26, 2021 at 9:05 AM Thanks, Barry. Who knows? It can happen!

Alexis Y. February 27, 2021 at 10:27 AM Hi L Milton, I agree; Kamala becoming Vice President lets little girls of color and girls, period! See that sky is the limit and that they can dream big and reach for the stars. Thanks for sharing such a write. Have a great day:-) Alexis L Milton Hankins February 27, 2021 at 11:22 AM Thanks, Alexis. It was about time! IMHO, the sky should be the limit for every boy and girl in America. And why isn't it???

Carolyn Devonshire February 26, 2021 at 11:34 AM The time for a woman to be vice president was long overdue, Milton. And she's certainly given hope to all little girls and inspiration to shoot for the stars. This is a lovely tribute to Kamala! L Milton Hankins February 26, 2021 at 1:17 PM I certainly agree, Carolyn. In fact, I think that it's time we had a woman president. Think how many countries in the world have already had one...or two...but not us! Thanks for reading my work. I appreciate you!
