Curt,
I like your rhyming scheme. I had to check this out after you said you used the same picture as me. Very powerful poem.

Comment from marswolf
You bring those horrors back to light,
something that some would have us forget, bury in the past...
But "those who do not 'learn' from history, are condemned to repeat it"...
May we all 'learn' lest the repitition be our undoing...
I don't know what 'style' but it read beautifully, the internal rhyming made the flow even easier...
Bravo this...it is a terrible truth told gracefully...

Thank you very much for your insightful review. It is true, many would like to forget these atrocities, but we must never forget, lest they be repeated on our own soil.
Thanks again,
Curt
Comment from Janet65
Hi Curt, This is a different form, but I have never seen this one. I like the message though. I would say it is a poem with a lot of internal rhyme. Rhyming doesn't have to be at the end of lines. It can be internal such as a word in the middle of a line rhyming with the end word.
Maybe you could call it a 'nonce,' which is an unknown form designed by a poet.
Anyway, it's darn good. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much for your informative comments. Because of the cadence of the form, I was wondering if circadian rhythm would be an apt name.
I truly appreciate your review.
Sincerely,
Curt
Comment from GENTLE STORM
You have provided enough imagery to paint this picture regarding that well known time. A very descriptive piece Curt. I found no errors, just a well written poem. Keep up the good work.......stormy

Comment from Seraphim Delphinium
Wow. What a powerfully composed piece, sweetheart. The imagery is indeed strong - as it should be. You know I used that "whore" metaphor in my "Mephistophelina" poem - lol Brilliant minds think alike, do they not? Absolutely wonderful work. Hugs, baby. Love, Ma

Comment from twooddsocks
Really nice piece. I like the fact that it is so fast paced through the quick rhyme that is comes across as a really intense piece rather than reflective - very good - I really liked this part:
Train ride to genocide, go inside,
bodies fried, tombs to share the stinking air,
bones are bare, burnt skin sags in body bags,
soldier gags
Just great rhyme with even more greater, or deeper, meaning. Thanks.

Comment from Bryana
Hi Curt,
No, we must never forget. Every time I read about wwII I get tears in my eyes.
This is my favorite stanza...
A case the human race can't face,
In a place close to war, the whore,
the infected sore on our back we attack
till we crack, giving in to the sin.
I certainly enjoyed your poem.
The different rhyme, descriptive of the horrors
of war. I don't see anything I would change.

Comment from cruisertrek
I liked how it rhymed, that always make it read faster and smoother. I thought hat thisw was about the terrible times of world war two. I thought that you described it well. And for some morbid reason, the picture actually fits the poem ( I didn't think so at first, but after reading it I see that it does).

Comment from Showboat
Hi Curt,
As I say all the time, I don't know one type of poetry from another. Usually I prefer happy bouncy poems, and yet, this one kind of called to me.
That is a time we must never forget, because there are those bent on doing it again.
