Bread And Roses Tanka Poem by Chen-ou Liu

Bread And Roses Tanka



crammed
shoulder to shoulder
factory girls
pump their tired hands, shouting
"Bread and Roses! "

Lovl. This is great. I dont want sound sexist but you captured reality here. The men getting meagre wages would shout " Bread and butter" and the fairer " Bread and roses" . Very true. Thats why we love them.
