This is a very well written Tableau poem you have penned about what is going on in Afghanistan right now. You used great descriptive words and very good imagery from the art work you chose. It makes me so sad that there is evil like that in the world. Hurting innocent people. Thanks for sharing. love and blessings, Teri

women disappear
beneath blue burkas

We do not know what will happen, but we have reason to fear for the safety of the people left behind. These events will continue to haunt us.

Your words reflect the consequences of the fall for women in Afghanistan. Your words describe a current event that is harsh and I feel for the women and girls of this country.

This tableau, Outside the Airport, has the proper formatting and captures the return of Afghanistan to then dark, airless realm of a primative existance.

What is happening in Afghanistan is shocking to putting it mildly .I don't know how any regime can treat its women like that .having said that i read an article pointing out that Taliban is Natives of Afghanistan while America is not .The country s very rich in mineral ore and the world want to control it .I am not sure where or with whom the truth lies.

A succinct reporting of current events. The poem flows well. I like the poetry form. Your word choice is without political overtones as much as is possible.

Indeed it is a picture we can interpret for ourselves.

Nice read. Thanks for sharing.

Great job with your tableau poem, Gypsy! We are praying that all the people who need to leave can leave safely. My friends know people who are leaving and some have been safely transported to Qatar. We know what awful things the taliban has done in the past. Let's keep praying for the safety of the Afghan people!

This is a chilling write about the situation in Afghanistan and how the country will be pushed into the dark ages and women will be once again oppressed, it is a tragic situation and man poor people are fleeing the country, a poignant write, love Dolly x

(Tableau) outside the airport, is short, succinct and deftly descriptive. Woven through each line are the golden threads of truth. I very much look forward to seeing your next post.
