excellent write..filled with emotional value..10

A sentiment that dips into a man’s heart...even more so for some of us who have kissed the cold white stone in gracious appreciation that it is not I, but should have been. Bless you!

This is excellent. It says so much and says it so well. I will save it as a favorite and it is a 10.

A powerfully moving tribute to the fallen, and persuasive lamenting of the brutality and senselessness of war... Will there ever be an end to it? Probably not while humans live... and a very fine example of your poetic abilities.. the rhyme structure adds poignancy to the 4th line of each verse. xxx

i love it i think that u don`t mean war while saying it but u mean love itself don`t u?

Linda, I gave this a 10 and saved it as a favorite. Ron

Linda, you have written a wonderfully penned piece..with an effortless flow. The wars have left this world of ours in tatters, nothing will ever come from them but sorrow.....one day the powers will learn.....'10' best dishes Jon

A fine poem that says it all. Will we ever learn.

A crisp, finely penned, tribute to our brave freedom fighters...and as Allie, said, & i must concur...this is most definitely Midnight Poetics at its' finest fabric! Midnight...just want to let you know...someone must be at the random hack-attack again on this site, as i left you a detailed comment on this poem, the day you posted it....and after reading your message, it would not surprise me to find that mine was not the only comment that disappeared from this fine effort of yours.In fact, & i could be wrong, but when i left my comment on 05/25, i could have sworn i saw at least 4 comments before i began to write mine.Last week more than 3 dozen of my ''Comments About The Poet' mysteriously disappeared. AND BOTTOM LINE...? THIS IS WHY THIS SITE IS RAPIDLY WANING DOWN TO ITS' LAST LIFELINE...AND NOT BECAUSE THE FOREMENTIONED PROBLEMS MANIFESTED....BUT BECAUSE THERE APPEARS TO BE NO INTENTION OF RESOLVING THEM. ~ FjR ~ ..2008..

Linda this is you at your poetic best. You take an ethically weighted subject and use a little irony and a whole lot of poetic craft to present in such a way as to affect change in your reader's consciousness. A moving, beautifully written tribute to those who gave their lives when all they wanted was a bit of adventure. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

'And every year the numbers grow '...feel the gravity brought out in this line...the curse of war on young lives...what for these blooming lives are cut short? A poem that should shake the universal mind off...ten votes to this call.
