To PAY our country back might be more precise. You're pretty obsessed with this topic. I like the first line, very visual. I see a battlefield strewn with dead and injured bodies, too many to gather, laying in the burning sun, proud to have committed the ultimate sacrifice for their country. World events requiring aggressive defense, again drawing the brotherhood together.

I love the mixture of pride and defiance you've twined into your words here. I can only imagine the horrors of the WW1 trenches.

Another good one Gary. My only complaint would be that I felt that there was more to be said from this soldier. Write on...

Deep and learned. I love this piece. An excellent rhyme. The first and second line was my favorite. I did notice that the last line felt wrong somehow. Not sure why. Was it meant to feel that way? I hope so. Maybe I am just being picky. You do have quite a talent though, keep it up.

You really conjure up a visious image with your words, deepwater. A fitting poem, especially after this Memorial Day. Good Job.

Great opening lines:

Our dead will mock the searing heat
My wounds will blister black
You tell us that our strength was sold
To help your country back


Well done.
