The Ballad Of Rudolph Reed Comments

Although a BALLAD, this could happen in reality. Ballads are stories occurred in daily life, but Ballads as these, so full pain and melancholy. Can we, in Europe, ever imagine how cruel life was for the Afro-Americans in the USA. Truly terrible and Poetess Gwendolyn Brooks illustrated in her poem how it was and truly was. IF there was no BALLAD added to the title, perhaps this poem was never published. CONGRATULATIONS being The Modern Poem Of The Day. Amazingly told.

A delightful poem by Gwendolyn Brooks....

With Michael agreed, good indeed is The Ballad of Rudolph Reed

A passionate poem by one of my favourite writers. It does not disappoint.

A touching account of the discrimination and injustices on black people by the white and former's ultimate victimization is narrated in the Ballad of Rudolph Reed. Well deserved modern poem of the Day.

" Oh my home may have its east or west Or north or south behind it. All I know is I shall know it, And fight for it when I find it." The agent's steep and steady stare Corroded to a grin. Why you black old, tough old of a man, Move your family in! great poem great write great 10+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

There is no place like home. A soldier who fights for his country is also fighting for his home. Its a heart touching ballad and loved the play on words.

Luving the read of this but saddened by the ballad such... Reed, Breed, Creed.. when is enough, enough... a house, a home, a castle.... in each other we must trust ...

This poem is a real work of art. I love they way Gwendolyn Brooks writes. It is inspiring and informing at the same time.

I remember coming across this poem in high school 30 years ago. I loved it then. Reading this now, I still feel connection. Thank You for having such a wide variety of information.
