I enjoyed your apt descriptions here Lance and you brought the scene to life. As you have not used an iambic meter here I am not sure if your write will be accepted by the judges, but if may not be that strict, I wish you luck, I enjoyed your story here, a little snippet of history, love Dolly x

Thank God for our forefathers determination. I cannot even imagine what it would be like to be a British subject. I wonder how many Americans have this kind of grit nowadays?

Very well done and descriptive. I never knew that term was used to describe a battle, but I can see it. Your poem and picture are great, thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.

American Revolutionary War Battle
Minutemen Attack
by Lance Loria

Hello, Lance,

Excellent entry for the Minute contest. Your poem is a minute poem and it's about minute men... that's clever. I read that they were called that because they were ready to fight in a minute's notice. Well done. Good luck in the contest.

I can't imagine what men go through - and now women too - when they know battle is imminent. However, your short, pithy lines give the poem a cadence that fits the subject. I know I would be the one standing in the middle hollering, "Now, you guys, just cut it out..."

Great poem. I love the format - it pulses like a battle and your words have taken me right on to the bloody field. You've painted a vivid picture with only a few (and rhyming) words. Well done and good luck in the contest.

Your minute poem is excellent in every respect--skillfully composed (meeting standards for the type of poem) and vividly descriptive of the confusion and terror of battle--even when much training has taken place.
