Hi Deepwater,
I thought this was a lovely tribute to your grandmother. The occupation of the Channel Islands was particularly brutal and she must have suffered during that time.
I thought this was a nicely put together poem, easy to read and enjoyable. In your final line 'gram' should be 'Gram'

Comment from Joan E.
You have captured the spirit of your "gram" and a bit of her life's experience in this tribute. I enjoyed your free verse and was pleased you illustrated your words with her picture as a young girl.

this is a well written poetic verse in tribute to someone you care about quite a lot. This poem has good imagery scattered though it thoughts and phrases. It was my pleasure to have read and written a review for... John

Those people endured a lot. And they were strong minded and willed. Seems many are looked up to and reviered that survived. Great job.

Comment from Dom G Robles
deepwater, I like your poem. You spoke of Old Gram who had been a veteran of war. He had been a prisoner who had learned and fought the tyrannies of men--defending the meek and supporting the weak--"We laid you this day with tears all did say I miss you Dear old Gram."

Hi deepwater,
I always enjoy stories of pioneers and the strength of character it took to endure their many trials. I think you did a great job telling your grandmother's story in this short poem.

Comment from thequillman
Deepwater, I really enjoyed this poem. I could sense the very character of gram. I wasn't certain if in the third line from the bottom,[cleaned] should have been [cleansed]?
Well written.
