The Better Angels of Our Nature
MendedFences27 said:

I think this is great. It capture the tone of his address, and the bitterness of the warring factions. One of my most moving experiences was a visit to Gettysburg. It found it chilling and inspiring, and your poem brought it all back. Loved it. - Phil A.

Let Us Cross Over The River (Pantoum Poem)
MendedFences27 said:

Some would say that the loss of Jackson is what cost the south the war. Lee was never as efficient without him. Your sad poem of a dying man, a general, and his final words to his troop and his wife, is touching and poetic. It presents a scene that could happen even today. The final moments of one\'s life are never as expected. The import of the final utterance, of crossing over the river brings an air of the mystical to your poem. Great write. - Phil A.

I always appreciated the vivid colors of the Caribbean. These gems, are they special stones from the islands or just a remembrance of another time. Loved your descriptions. -Phil A.

Ugly War!
WriteBeLight said:

So sorry for what you went through. You describe, well, the devastation, pain and destruction. It is a horrible situation, and yes, very ugly. Great job on this thoughtful piece.

Indeed! Thank you for reading my poem.

Ugly War!
MendedFences27 said:

War will end when the would be soldiers and would be victims refuse to follow the greedy, power-hungry, manipulative bastards in power. Today, they play, not with just war casualties, but also with the total destruction of the planet. One more war could be the last action any of us ever make. We have idiots, tyrants, and lunatics with their fingers on the many buttons that could start it all. God save us! - Phil A.

Like you say, we announce it publicly to the world with God watching. I feel sorry for those who have not experienced what you poetically describe.
