Across The Battlefield Comments

'Pits of Pain' is a very powerful metaphor, David and your poem, set as it is in the battlefield, powerfully expresses your horror at the waste of war and those young men who were only wanting adventure, not death. Your poem reminds me of that wonderful song 'Where have all the flowers Gone'. And yet I can see the ray of hope in your final lines. Another fine poem from a compassionate man. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Very graphic and strong work David. Violence never seems to stop. We all need hope though and the birds singing helped me a little. 10 Karin Anderson
