This is a lovely piece of work. I love the rhyming scheme, as well as the meter and rhythm of it all.
There is something else that I like. It's the fact that many of us become sad about things in our life, at times. People pass away, and we are sometimes forced into new ways of life. Maybe we move to another location, or find ourselves alone, without family. And that is when we feel that we would like to leave or fly away as the poem says.
Thank you for your beautiful poem. There is nothing that I would dare attempt to add or remove. It is wonderful.
I have nothing bad to say about this story other than the fact it is so tragic. My personal opinion is that people who are hooked on drugs should be detoxed and psychiatrically evaluated after they are clean.
This story is well written and the words flow smoothly. It is extremely interesting and I found no errors in spelling or grammar. It is a great read overall in my opinion.
Thank you for sharing it with me. I will never forget reading it. In fact, I may go search the internet for more information about this man, Lee Anderson and his guitars, Sugar and Black Beauty.
I chose to read it because I am a history lover and an amateur genealogist. I am always trying to discover new items from the past.
It was sad to hear such a gruesome act could be so easily pinned on someone else, and that the guilty person would allow an innocent man to hang for a crime that he did not commit.
I especially enjoyed hearing the personal thoughts and feelings of the grandmother whose name was Majesty. She seemed to be the kind of grandmother, like my own, of whom I could easily relate to. She seemed to have a kind and loving nature.
The story flowed nicely and drew me in to the point that I didn't look away, not even once. I think it would pique the interest of any history buff.
It was informative and each point was described in great detail, including the way it was researched.
The only possible mistake I found in the entire article was in the following paragraph (see copy/pasted below) in bold.
The word used was Liberian, but I wondered if maybe it was suppose to be Librarian? The following sentence said "she said" so it didn't seem to be the name of a newspaper. The thing that I questioned was Librarian would not be capitalized, so it could go either way but I wasn't sure.
The Liberian mentioned the noose was still there. She said, "It was left to remind people of vigilante justice. "A noose is a loop with a running knot that binds closer the more it is drawn".
Thank you for sharing this item and I hope to find more like it in the future. Great job!
