This is a great poem which tell us about The First World War. At the end in a war any one wins. And ever, ever is pain. It's very well written!
Congratulations!

Hello Deepwater,
This is a strong poem. You write fluently and your confidence comes through. You did a great job, through the workings of your brilliant imagination, of entering into the feelings and situation of a World War 1 soldier writing home. I would imagine you probably hit the nail on the head.
Cheers, W ^-^

Stark images of war, any war. This is a poem that haunts and without asking, demands to know if the horror of war is worth it. Excellent job, I liked it very much.

I was touched by the words in this poem. I also learned something about world war one that I was not familiar with. Your poem is powerful and well written.

Hi deepwater.
This is a great story/letter in poetic art form. Your choice of words rings so true. You seem to have a real connection with your roots. (as per your bio) Personally, I am drawn to this kind of work. You are talented.

The tragedies of war, and those who died or injured in war.

Wars are still going on today.

When will we wake up to no war on our earth?

The art work here is very telling. Many tears shed within this church, for someone loved and died for all of us.


Honey tree.

So many died fighting and killing another human being.
Many lived with injury and pain until they eventually died.
Prisoners of war were persecuted, many died others lived and would have nightmares for a long time.

The soldiers write such profound letter, such deep and thoughtful messages, that can only come from people who are facing death and destruction.
Wonderful poem about life and death and its futility.
Well done.

I like this because...You've picked a subject that I love the First WW. Although we all know how horrible it was, or should I say can only imagine what it was like. I collect books on the F.W.W.
Your piece is very graphic in detail with a powerful image and a visual description. A very creative piece of writing concise and very creative and at the same time emotional.
