Comment from Frozen Fire
What a great ode you penned for an obviously strong woman. Your descriptive, well-chosen words painted a great picture of what it must have been like for her and how she played a part in helping others cope. The picture is a wonderful addition to your piece as well.

Comment from honeytree
I really loved the art work and the words written about "Dear old Gram."The injustice carried out as a prisoner of war would not be easy and would have been cruel.
A human story
sad times and the injustice
for being a prisoner of war
as they suffered so much for freedom
for us all.

Comment from Fish
I'm pretty sure that you meant 'internment'
rather than 'interment' because the former
means 'confinement' and the latter means
'burial'. In other words, if she was toiling
while she was buried, well, that would be
rather gruesome, albeit charmingly grotesque,
in the Edgar Allen Poe sense.
I won't whine about the grammar- I give up.
Nice post! ;) fish

This is a beautiful tribute to your
grandmother - written with sincere devotion
and love shining through each line. Her strength
is admirable.
I like it beginning and ending with "Dear old Gram"
Very nicely done.

Comment from RazberryBullet
I didn't realize part of Britain was occupied by the Germans!
Liked these lines especially: A prisoner of war she learned to endure The heartaches and tyrannies of man Slaves kept on hand, injustice occupied her land
Well done!

I don't rate the poetry aspects very high in this posting, but certainly send my respects to who must have been a grand lady with many admirers celebrating her life.

Comment from Mastery
Hi, deepwater. This is a wonderful dedication to "Gram" I particularly liked these lines:
"Defending the meek and supporting the weak
From the darkest of interment and toil"
Good poetry as usual...Bob
