In a place no soldier wants to be
Fighting a war so innocents can be free
Soldiers going door to door
They never know whats in store
Bullets firing soldiers get down
Fire Fight has begun hit the ground!!!
Rifles firing can't see where they are
Keep firing they enemy can't be far
My very first fire fight adrenalin flows
Keeping firing I say to myself fear grows
I don't want to die God, hear me please!!
Sweat pouring down my face, its 100 degrees
Machine guns screaming as the fight goes on
Grenades thrown with all my might
With no end to this battle in sight
Fire fight continues off and on till dawn
Finally the enemy has withdrawn
Back against a tree breathe a sigh of relief
My mind is in utter disbelief
Soldiers fought til the battle is won
I sit and stare at a picture of my son
Soldiers reload and gather their gear
Here comes reinforcements pulling up the rear.

Thanks TERESA ~ Well done ~ I love this POEM for several reasons !
1. It is Remembrance Sunday
2. We have to remember even though technically it is PEACETIME a Soldier dies somewhere every day !
3. It is a perfect set of 11 Rhyming Couplets except for line 13 which is a singlet ! These rhymes give your poem great flow and rhythm !
4. Your meter (rhythm) is good throughout the poem
5. You have treated a difficult Subject elegantly
6. An excellent POEM in both Structure and Subject ~ well done !
A HUG for excellence ~ BRIAN
