Welcome to FanStory, Shelia Kaye Diaz! It's so nice to read your milestone post today. I think we all agree of the sadness depicted here in your short verse poem. Not a word was wasted describing this travesty.

Sending you my best today as always, and my very best wishes in the upcoming contest.
Sally Law :))

-A very good poem, Shelia, with a good topic.
-You do a good job showing conditions in
Russia by using only a few words.
-Very good nature imagery and
an excellent concluding line with an
important message about how so many
are homeless in Russia and are also overlooked.
-A very good entry; good luck in the contest.
-Congratulations on your first milestone post, too.

Your 5-7-5 paints a vivid image of the "American landscape" on the Russian River. I would like to suggest substituting NOW for HOW. Congrats on your first Milestone here at FanStory. Rod

Well done with this fine entry in this contest, one has to pack a fair bit of information into these short 17 syllable poems. Beautifully written my friend, blessings Roy

Congrats on your first milestone! This poem is intriguing. It lingers in your mind, constantly pondering the meaning, either literal or deeper. It creates a drive that makes you want to research the topic.
