WELCOME JO ~ Thanks for your first Poem which is very descriptive and moving. It is difficult (in poetry or prose) to put ourselves in the \"boots\" of a Military Man (who has \"killed\" in the course of duty) BUT ~ You have done a good job and shared his angst and self pity in this elegant poem ~ he can\'t forget (or forgive himself because ~ THE DEEDS BEEN DONE ! However He can be proud because he did it for the greater good he DID IT FOR HIS COUNTRY ! His liaison with a \"Trashy Girl\" is an encounter to forget and his meeting with his Mother is very poignant NO JUDGEMENT ~ but NO SALUTE either. All of us who support the Military ~ from the sidelines ~ are only doing (as you say) THEIR PARTIAL DUTY. A brilliant POEM ~ thanks for sharing ~ Your BRIAN (UK)
