Again! A very strong 12 word answer to a infinity question. I like how you strike out strong in your wording, you make it seem so easy yet I know it is not.Everyone has something different to add to this never ending explanation in words. Yours are one of a kind...but I do feel them every time like they are mines. Thank you very much for sharing young lady...ill knock again soon.

This twelve-word poem, The Trial, has the proper formatting and seems to work both sides of the intentions of slavery through the centuries.

A succinct but powerful poem which sums up the horrors of slavery. Only relatively recently have many aspects of slavery been researched. Modern slavery remains a major issue!

Great job with your rhyming quatrain with three well chosen words in each line! Yes, you're right that the history of mankind is full of horrific acts to other humans. Best wishes in the contest!

This is an interesting 12 word entry for the contest, as is the picture chosen to represent - Slavery throughout mankind's history. A subject that continues to bring anger and sits unresolved. Is this why it is titled - Trial?

Just a comment on this line - Outrage they gave. The word - paved - also works as it also rhymes with the final word.

Thank you for sharing and best of luck in the competition.

This compelling poem has a timeless message that should always be heard. I am starting to love these very few-word poetry prompts! A great challenge for a poet- effectively deliver a powerful message in few words. Well I think you chose a great topic, and your words flowed nicely and rhymed. So, well done!!
:)

Slavery is a concept I've always had great difficulty to comprehend. How come we, the white man, always saw ourselves being superior to everyone else? I loved your poem. I, of course, understand there are many other kind of slavery. Ulla:)))

    Oh yes and that's what my poem is for the is in general not specific to any race or person the fact that we have this router history and I think every race has slaves. That's sad really but I thought throwing something out there. That would have an impact and said look man we're all equal. Thank you so much for your comments and for taking the time to read this. I very much appreciated I hope you have a great day!
