I really loved that. But why poetry?
Not that I have a clue about poems but it read more like a story to me. Sorry for my ignorance.
Loved your cover too. I voted.

Even a topic that is quite horrifying to think, you still made a beautiful interpretation through poetry. The photo you included helps create the imagination of your readers. This is a unique contest entry. I like it.

I humbly accept such welcomed words from one who is such a talented writer. Serena
