A very well-written 2-4-2 poem about the sacrifices our forefathers made to fight for freedom for a country and its residense is an honoroble action that we can cherish and practice as well.

Hello Anon
Very good. Strong, direct - well presented and punctuated (although you may have used a semicolon on line one and avoided the full stop, making the statement a continuous single sentence? Just an idea).
I see it is a prompt for a contest - I wish you well with it.
Cheers

Your poem met the requirements of the 2-4-2 syllable poem and was a great entry. This was a great poem to read on Independence Day. It was very thought-provoking.

This 2-4-2, Freedom, distributes the eight syllables correctly and is well penned as a reminder, during this season of commemoration and celebration, that we are a free society by sheer will and work.

What a perfect post for the Fourth of July. I think that timeliness should be a factor in selecting a winner. Your words are strong and good. I think that you have the winner here. Should be.

This is a very fluent 2-4-2 poem, considering the type of format required.
It also conveys a timely message (considering America's Independence Day) and a good one at that.
I wish you a happy Fourth of July and the very best of luck in the contest.

It's strange how our freedom from England won freedom for some but not all.
A nice poem and great picture. Have a happy 4th.
