Hi Annie,
I don't know if you wanted people to respond personally rather than to the
group, but I've never been much for rules.
I like this poem-it evokes emotion and pain and sorrow. But to me, the last
line falls flat. 'numb fingers of sky' rhymes with the previous line, but it
leaves me scratching my head rather than feeling satisfied.
Others, of course, might feel differently.
Thanks for sharing,
Chris

Poverty of the Soul
By Ann Chiappetta
Come, come to me
Rake the soul with the shame of slavery
Lend your arm of justice to those who weep
Drag the scalpel of righteousness, blood welling, deep.
Cry, cry for me
the citizen
The sister, the victim, the mother, the old one, the immigrant, the child
Lift the prison, the poverty
Infecting the collective mind
Pray, pray with me
skin on knees thinned and bruised by please
intended to Reach ears on High
Where hope falls like rain between numb fingers of sky.
