IV More Poems

Floreo by Jessica Ann Sanchez

Inspired by Erica Wendel-Oglesby“Proof of Participation” Mosaic

We unearth, flourish and voteWith our sister’s seedsCrippled, twisted, tied hands move 1920 Freedom
Strong hold
Sun gold trophy in the sky White skin finish line
Colors crossing
Into the grave
Holding her grasp
With our voice, “2020”Purple inked fingertips Abound in proof

V is for Victory! by Joe and Ellen Sorenson

V is for Victory!

~Vote Women!, Vote Women!
by Caroline LeBlanc

Shout with a triumph,Let’s do a dance,In celebration
For women to vote,
With struggle and hardship, 100 years ago,

The 19th amendment was ratified, So once again,Let’s celebrate the victory.

The Suffragettes are marching again by Eliza Wolff-Francis

Shouting with their signs, their political buttons, their hidden jewels

Equality and Votes for women!

The suffragettes are marching again, almost ballerinas in their dance for choice, they embody their denied humanity.
Front and center agendas
for voice, for family, for schools,
for equality, for the vote.

How many pieces of a woman does an artist need to assemble to prove she is real?
Evidence she is human,

with opinions and beliefs, thoughts and ideas, evidence that she matters.

The suffragettes are marching again, bracing themselves
with injustices of the world, marching to change them for all.
