Hopton's Victory Comments

This reminds me of the poem by Lord Tennyson: Half a league, half a league, Half a league onward, All in the valley of Death, Rode the six hundred................Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon in front of them, Volley'd and thunder'd. Lucy has brought another war scene vividly here

Lucy, I love this and was stunned to see it featured as the subject matter for one of your poems (I have a keen Civil War interest) . Excellent stuff. It's made my evening to read this. Great!

When my husband was in the sealed knot (Civil war re-enactment society) , he was in a Cavalier Regiment - and the area where we live was Roaylist, so it was written in that vein, I can see the merit in being a parliamentarian! Regards, Lucy

Lucy, I would have been with Cromwell, on the side of democracy, had I been around. This is a great work, nonetheless. Denis Joe
