This acrostic poem, DIED FOR FREEDOM, follows the vertical theme and reminds me to thank God for a belief in a hereafter that allows peace and reunion with those that sacrificed their futures for us.

I think you commanded this acrostic with a very firm, but artistic hand, and turned out something that flowed like a rhymer, told a story like a story poem, and also delivered a wonderful impact on the reader, especially with your last two lines which added real poignancy and depth to it. Good luck at the polls!

Hi Pharp, this is a lovely acrostic in memory of all the fallen soldiers who have fought for the freedom we know today. Let's hope it was not done in vain. It's a great entry, and I wish you the best of luck. Ulla:)))

This poem is such a tribute to our fallen soldiers of today and yesterday.
Your words were thought out carefully and penned masterfully.
As a nation, we should be proud of our military and all our veterans, they keep not only our nation free but also those nations we fight to protect.
Thanks for sharing.

"Died for Freedom" is an excellent acrostic poem in memory of those who gave their lives for our freedom. I lost an uncle in the Korean Conflict and a cousin in the Vietnam War. My family, as many others, has sacrificed for our freedom. Thank you for sharing Portia.

Best of luck to you in the contest.
Blessings
Janet

A beautiful tribute to our soldiers who gave the ultimate price of war and keeping us free and able to sleep soundly at night. I think we need to also include as an ultimate sacrifice too, the soldiers who have come home severely disabled.
Great job!
Patty

    I agree with you about remembering the ones that came home disabled. My husband is a total disabled Vietnam and Gulf War Vet. He came home from the Gulf War with health issues rendering him total disabled. As always thanks so much for your sweet and gently spirit.
