Kay I'm so glad you decided to post this piece. There are so many things I remember reading growing up and in school that have been taken from the shelves. Are we suppose to pretend these things never happened or existed? All of the things you mentioned are part of history and the era we grew up in. It is very sad that it can all just disappear.
Excellent job!
Love Cindy

Its good to be back from wherever to come to P&Q and find Gr8 poems n urs is the first read.
Thnx for making me want to stay.

Such a powerful mind touching write Kay.
The ending stanza ... wrapped it up tightly.

The flow - perfection !

Now though i dont know much about most of the things you mentioned (not coz i am young but coz of the distance..lol) but it takes taste and commonsense to find out worthy poem & this one is example of smart poem. Very intelligently merged piece.

Nice to read after so long.

all the best and take care

WoW.

I love your Poetry DD, makes me think awhile, stirs memories, evokes anger, joy and fears. I do connect with your rebel nature, and enjoy your words immensly!
Peace and Blessings

Well done but let us hope it will only be a fairy tail (or the majority get their voice back).

Well done. It seems that only when people like you voice objection to the absurdity in eloquent terms that we hold back the barbarianism of book banning
