Brilliant piece Abe, this is the kind of work that makes your poems highly readable, and even this Highlander has heard of Rosa Louise McCauley Parks, born in Tuskegee - where a superb squadron of airmen came from also. Well deserved Senyru>>James

She was strong and brave. This is an excellent tribute to her offering to man. Respect- (I have a movie about her life that I watch from time to time... usually in Feb.) Excellent senryu, Abe. With love, Dane
