Review of Ol' Johnnie Walker Red

First and foremost, thank you for sharing your work . I am not an expert reviewer. I am just another writer, but I know it is the reviews that help us to perfect our craft. My opinions are just that; my opinions. This review was done for the Game of Crowns contest.

OVERALL IMPRESSIONS:

A great poem and a great story. It is a story that painfully is retold by life much too often. A man joins the army in order to provide for his family. Those who served in Vietnam had special problems to deal with. Jesse tries to solve his problems with alcohol.

PLOT & CHARACTERS:

Johnnie Walker Red refers to the world's best selling scotch whiskey. Jesse now has flash backs of the people that he killed in Vietnam. Those dreams quickly become nightmares. Instead of being praised for his efforts in the fruitless war he is abused for his efforts. His family life gets worst and eventually it means he must do something. The decision brings him to a deadly end.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

This is an exceptionally good poem.
