The Ballad Of Sparta Comments

I love what I 'behold' in every stanza - kept me reading! ! Super use of short phrases to convey a vibrant picture! ! (this is Lynz by the way)

I agree Bandwagon, this poem needs you to concentrate more on the meter than the rhyme, but I do love the outcome of the use of dead stops. no pun intended. -landrey

A brave take on a fine topic Jonzo although I feel the redress to rhyme constricts the flow. I did a free form piece on Thermopylae back in May entitled 'Strategos' that's still on this site. Quite different. Yours is a fine piece.

A cool, contemporary take on the epic style. Someone else gave the 7, I don't vote, but it's better than that.
