    "The soil that they unrighteously took
    they are cold ruthless crooks." you need a comma after took and capitalize they in the next line.

    "I will find a place to grow older,
    build a shelter so I won't get colder.
    Oklahoma is my new home,
    I have no place else to go." what happened to the rhyming patern. if u can get that to rhyme that would be cool, if not then its fine.

    I really liked it, i stink at the rhyming poems, and i always enjoy readin poems by those who can rhyme

    Hey,i really liked this poem! it had good imagery and word choice was great! although these lines "This route cannot go on forever
    My mind and heart pray for something better" as well as the others, it works! i also like the combination of 6 lined stanza and then 3 quatrains was different, and it also worked! i loved it! 4/5** lots of lovings, kayla

    This poem makes you think:
    The white men took all my worth,
    they ravaged this land and all the earth.
    If I am the savage then what are they?
    Will my people still fall to them as prey?

    There are sooo many stupid mistakes that America has made. It's hypocrisy to me. I have a poem called Exclusion. It's really not that good, but I was bored, and I watched a video on it. It would be nice if you could check it out and tell me what you think. Most of it is factual more than emotional, I think. I haven't read it in so long.

    It's sad... but good! It's amazing how you were able to rhyme everything so easily.

    if u can, plz read 'To Be Free'... it's primarily about the Holocaust, but also about captivity.

    Thanks

    This is a very beautiful poem. It had a very unique topic, I don't believe I've ever read a poem about The Trail of Tears. It flow nicely and the rhyming was good. Keep up the wonderful writing. *5/5*

    The most profound words of the whole poem. In the past and now, that stanza can be applied to life. Beautiful words, wonderful job. You well deserved the win in that contest.
