Hello, I am PandaPaws and I am reviewing this piece as part of the Simply Positive Group!

TITLE: Being interested in historical poems and in particular ones about World War II I was immediately drawn to this poem. Even without the introduction I knew exactly what this piece was going to be about.

THEME: Somber and respectful.

TONE: The tone is somber as well, being a short poem it could have read quiclkt but your choice of words slow us down and let us take in the experience.

RHYTHM/METER: Your rhythm is fine, flowing from one line to the next clearly and wonderfully.

FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE: This is truly just my own opinion and use what you can and ignore what you don't agree with. I questioned the use of the word 'gems' in the first line. Are you referring to the men or the ships? I think I would have used another term, but as I said this is your poem and only you know best.

AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT: I found no errors in spelling, or grammar. The poem is very well written.

EXCELLENT WRITING EXAMPLES:
I think the most poignant line would be the last one...

blood flows ruby red

Nothing could be more true.
Well done.
