    You did a wonderful job on this Pantoum form. How sad the way things have destroyed so many of the tribes that once thrived here.
    Great job!
    Love Cindy

    Fantastic job on the form...beautiful and deep content. I think you've written a winner here!....am I biased? Not a bit....

    "Spirit of the Navajo
    How hard life has become
    Reciting prayers of long ago
    Alcohol an escape for some"

    ^Like yin and yang...the opposites in spirit and corruption that runs through the Native American history

    "Water is a scarcity
    Wells will soon run dry
    Look at them with pity
    How could one not cry"

    ^ I like the meaning behind this and the lovely metaphor....the tears and the well....awesome!

    Well done! 5/5
