Very good use of the prompt. Only point is, I think "Chief" would be capitalised since it comes directly before a name. Strong poem.

Comment from Schalk Jacobs
Very powerful nonet that reflects a very tragic event in US history. Unfortunately, it wasn't the last, but this did eventually lead to the Battle at Wounded Knee. Very well written and your pic really pays homeage to the poem and the victims. Well done and good luck.

I love the picture. I love the poem. It is a reminder there are really not rules in war. You incite many people with anger, violence and death. All these people can not be kept under control. Great work.

Comment from Benjamin Valencia
Hello. Very good Nonet here and a good historical tribute as I love history. After stating "had already surrendered" I think the reader can become confused as to who had already surrendered and who still attacked. I like this ambiguity only because of the reminder given in part to "Manifest Destiny" which gave early Americans the God given righteousness to expand regardless of who got in the way. Good luck in the contest. Cheers.

Hello Benjamin Valencia,
As an ojibway native from Canada, I will respond to your comments from my heart. ``Manifest Destiny```was a 19th century belief that the U.S. was a chosen land by God ``to redeem the old world...and build a new heaven.`` How`s that working...not very well. It was used to enforce slavery, to justify the war with Mexico and to try to annialate every native in order that they (the immigrants) could take what they wanted, to rid themselves of the ``savages``. Those same ``savages`` sure came in handy when they were needed as guides and teachers in the new land though. Just my opinion. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing...blessings.

Comment from poesyapprentice
this was a horrible slaughter, so senseless. You give a good bit of info in your write and it has clear visuals. eek too clear, but the truth, and it should be told. I wish that notes on the writes had been allowed as I would have liked to have known more. Good job and good luck!

Comment from Curt Mongold
Wow, I never heard of that battle, but it sounds more like a slaughter. Too many of these stories can be told about the native Americans and the whites, it makes me sad in my Kiowa blood, and ashamed of the caucasian side of my family.
Well done,
Curt
