Great choice of words that reflect the world's attention on Ukraine's struggle to keep freedom while Russia attacks both with bombs and lies. We'll keep praying for the Ukrainians to "hold tight" to their freedom.
Congratulations on the win!!

Congratulations on your first-place win! I like your poem because it brings many emotional feelings to the surface. The refugee crisis is sad to watch, and we do need to get a grip on the crisis.

Thank you! I feel quite emotionally involved with this refugee mess. I just can't get my head around how awful it would be to have to leave my home and country due to war.

This piece speaks volumes. The world is in for a change and it doesn't look like a good one. I hope we can rally and learn from our past mistakes so we do not repeat them.

It's all looking rather bleak at the moment. We are very slow learners.

Excellent entry for the Another 242 Contest writing prompt contest. You followed the rules well. Good syllables count and connection between lines. Good luck in the contest.

I thought this meaned a lot with the hands going up on the air...The words told a story in short form..the nation needs help and this was a form of releasing in short form

Freedom slipping away ,Hold tight ..very well said and it is timely too. I feel it is really slipping away by carelessly holding virtues that once held precious. ..all the best.

Thanks for your review.

Very nice poem. The message is short, but strong. Your 2-4-2 syllable count is on point. The poem flows well, each line connecting well with the next line. The picture you chose compliments this poem well. Nice job.

A good entry for the 2-4-2 contest. You have used the syllables well to highlight the plight of refugees. The picture used is very telling. I did ponder the last line and thought I'd throw a suggestion to use or ignore.
Freedom
slipping away.
Hold tight!
or
Freedom
slipping away.
Have faith.
Just food for thought. Best of luck in the competition.

Thanks for your review and suggestion. I decided to keep the original 'Hold tight!' line as I wanted to have the imagery of hands reaching out to help.
