I remember the day well. I lost two friends in it, both fireman. Everyone knew someone who died and many lost their faith that day. This is an excellently written poem.

“The jewes are the people that will not be blamed for nothing.” There was a lot of prejudice against jews in Whitechapel and the entire east end in 1888. I knew what this was about as soon as I saw the title. He left a leather apron behind after one of the killings. Possible Annie Chapman, not sure. Mary Kelly got it the worst, he had plenty of time with her. Excellent poem with great rhymes . I’m glad I read this.

You make me think…
It’s cool, I’m good at it!
I enjoy the complexity of your writes. The vocabulary. The nuanced messages. Even, a word I never knew until you shared it.
So thank you for the enhanced ability of your writes. It makes me stronger by reading them. And enjoying them.-

As always, you are too kind Mark. I don’t miss many from DU, but you are definitely on the missed list.

I agree with previous commentors on the talent.
I like the analogies presented in this write.
Especially fond of the last stanza…reading this makes me feel like I saw her memories
just before they entombed her under the cathedral floor.j.

Nice work Navina.
It was a dreadful act but so was the response.America has changed much since then and not for the better.
I hope one day the good American,the kind American,the compassionate American,the generous, welcoming American will triumph over the greedy, selfish egomaniacs that currently run the show…..but I doubt it.
