This is a short but heartfelt ode to the fallen soldier. We need to remember what they did for us and thank them more often than we do.

Congratulations on the win.

Keep writing

Hello Idamarty, In five lines, your poem speaks volumes. Your poem is heartfelt and beautifully penned. I especially liked:

Brave are those who fought the war
Cherished hearts that beat no more
Death became our saving grace

(The essence of this poem)

Ida, an excellent ABC poem. When writing ABC poems, like Acrostics, it can be difficult to have each line flow with ease. Your poem flows in a most silky way - very good.

Wonderful artwork choice. A poem of gratitude. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck.

Keep the blue waters flowing.

Very nice tribute to our veterans. good use of rhyming couplets that make the poem flow nicely. Good image selection that is perfect for your poem.

Beautiful words and a heart warming theme. Yes, much praise for those gave their lives and went through hell for our freedom. They truly deserve our thanks. Great writing.

The description of war dead always goes against my grain. I find nothing grand or heroic about it, just deep sadness that it occurs every day and has every day for millennium after millennium.

    I know what you mean. It has been going on forever and will probably do so until we finally destroy this earth. Thank you for reading and reviewing. Blessings.
