Really thoughtful poem Odin Roark. What a sad state of affairs that is.

Really evocative imagery Kelly Jean Rice. The poem flows really nicely.

Great rhythm and rhyming couplets Claire. This poem really conveys a sense of joy.

This is great, you've used some really good words that sit together well and more importantly it tells a story.

Alex Hamilton ; Thanks Alex!

A lot like an anti-Alice in Wonderland which made the piece more poignant. Very well done.

Very profound and morally driven poem. I can feel a hint of feminism?

What a personal poem, I'm glad you shared it as it I would think some women would need a boost that this poem gives. Very well done.

Great poem, keep up the good work Tazzypoo !

If anybody is interested in reading my grandfathers journal let me know. It is posted online at the WW2 museums website :)

Joey T Thanks so much Joey!!!

Dramatic and well-realised Gold.dust.0523, although there are a few grammatical errors here and there

A noble poem that's as relevant as ever, I think.

I must agree with Joey T that the lack of stanzas makes this rather daunting to read

Might be worth breaking this up into stanzas Gold.dust.0523, what do you think? Your call!

Very good work, packed a punch in its few lines but enjoyable all the same.

Says a lot with very little Kale Simons

Short and sweet - thanks for sharing this!

Deep and moving, also very thought provoking whilst retaining typical poetical elements. A pleasure to read.

Great imagery in this Katrina Carr

Very striking poetry, thank you for sharing.

Classic piece as ever you add so much more to what could be a very bland subject matter turning into something to be admired.

Unsure as to whether "drippingly" is really a word Odin Roark, but the rest is fantastic as per usual

Sweet poem - thanks for sharing!

Impressive vocabulary Vampyress

Great poem, Vampyress, and very nice imagery too.

Quite a compelling piece, especially in its use of repetition. Good stuff.

Striking, impressionistic stuff Kelly Jean Rice

Interesting style - a lot of room for interpretation! Liked the use of reptition too. Thanks!

Very moving piece, not overly sentimental in its delivery but I think its restraint helped the piece. Very enjoyable piece.

Some delightful imagery Vampyress

Haunting piece of prose poetry snott

Pia Lou Thank you very much :)

Great poem, snott; I really enjoyed its song-like quality.
