Judge’s Comment<br />
I love the way this poem captures the story of each wife in just a few<br />
lines, juxtaposing but also creating a cumulative awareness of their tales.<br />
An intriguing way to capture this historical event.<br />

And Nobody Cared<br />
She sat there.<br />
Her eyes flowed like oceans,<br />
the wind chuckled<br />
And nobody cared.<br />
She sat there.<br />
Her hair flapped in the wind like ribbon,<br />
the leaves crackled<br />
And nobody cared.<br />
She sat there.<br />
Her umbrella floated like a cloud,<br />
the bench squeaked<br />
And nobody cared.<br />
She sat there.<br />
Her dress scrunched like paper,<br />
the rain thumped<br />
And nobody cared.<br />
She sat there.<br />
Her skin like a ghost’s,<br />
the sun disappeared<br />
And nobody cared.<br />
She sat there.<br />
Her heart fell like rocks,<br />
the colours faded<br />
And nobody cared.<br />
She sat there.<br />
And nobody looked<br />
And nobody heard<br />
And nobody cared.
