Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Patriots, written in three ABAB, eight-syllable quatrains, reminds us of the early sacrifices of the first patriots who fought and suffered to secure freedom.

Comment from Dean Kuch
Yes, they most certainly did and many are still doing so today.
Freedom is never free and has always came with a hefty price.
The sacrifices many brave men and women have made in the name of freedom
should never be taken for granted or forgotten.
Great poem.
Best of luck to you in the contest.

Thanks so much for the great review. I wanted to showcase what they did for us and draw attention to what they actually gave up for us.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about independence day and the patriots that spilled their blood for this country. It is hard to believe there are people who want to destroy all this for the sake of ILLEGAL

Dear Mystery Writer, --wink--
This is, by FAR, the best entry I have read for the We the People contest. *smile* It not only has a great message about remembering why we ARE 'We the People' currently and how we got there, but it's crafted so well! I really enjoyed this one and you have my vote!
BTW, I noticed your profile page is pretty blank. What's happened? It doesn't even list your name!

Hi Robyn. I have sort of forgotten to fill out the profile page. I?m Melissa and I really do value your opinion and reviews. Im fairly new to FS. My page says April, but my first entry was last December. I don?t feel I have any credentials to write, other than I?m an avid reader and love the sound of words expressing meaningful things. My goal is to become an excellent narrator who can bring the reader right into the piece whether it?s poetry or prose. Thanks for being interested and the great review. Fondly, Melissa

Melissa!!! What you just shared is PERFECT for your profile page! hahahaha! Use that, sweetie -- and then add your name and info. A pic, if you want to. People often don't. Thanks!

I enjoyed reading your short poem. It has many vivid details that makes the nightly raids real. It is known that without the sacrifice of the patriots we could never live in such a beautiful place. Nice job! Good luck!

Comment from PoemsOfDD
This is a good entry for the We, The People contest. It rhymes well to relay the scene of war and the courage of men fighting for a cause. If I were to suggest anything I would perhaps change the word "into" in the second line as you have started the piece with "Into the night..."
suggestion..

Food for thought. A good read - best of luck in the competition. ~DD
