John, This poem is inspirational and the second stanza made me shiver Brrrrrrrrrr. With the last stanza I felt new light with hope of a new beginning. 10 love Karin
Hi John - A very thought provoking poem. Excellent use of English and 'full rhyme'. The metre needs a little tweeking. In verse one the 'Old Glory' is buried, unsen and in shadows. Verse two is even more melancholy and even the 'memories' are blown away. Verse three is much more optimistic and the 'Promise of New Hope' is symbolised by 'sown seeds' 'new dawn' and the 'promise of tomorrow'. Well done and deserving of a NINE.
Absolutely beautiful, exquisite poem..You should be proud of yourself, youre poems are brilliant.
