Another fine poem Alf I know what is like to bury one of your own, pray I never have to do it again 10 Daniel

A haunting piece Alf, it tells a story and the imagery makes it so real, 10 Lynda xx

Alf, Having heard the bagpipes several times at close quarters, and being an ex servicewoman this poem haunts. Lisa

I'd like to know if this was based on a real experience.

This evocative poem throbs with the sororous reverberation of the bagpipes. They play a veritable anthem whose poignant message will stay with the reader long after the closing line. S

Superbly written, fluent and easy to conseptualize with fantastic descritpive verses. As a lover of traditoinal Scottish folk music I was able to infuse The Great Highland Bagpipe into my senses feeling honor and respect for the men who have fought and died for their country and their religion. Thank you for sharing this with me.

Simply Stunning write Alf. Gave me goose bumps because I can hear the pipes and the song and feel the grief and compassion. I love the ending too. It is perfect. No who or where but when! So true, and that is here also, it is not a matter of IF the US will suffer and awaken to reality but WHEN. and I fear sooner rather than later. My utmost regards, Susan

I have read this poem over and over again and it still moves me to tears every time. From your favourite fan, Mandy Moo
