Beautifully done, I give you highest accolades.
I visited the Normany cemetery on June 6, 1964. While standing there I thought, "Twenty years ago, all these brave men died for freedom."
On June 6, 1984, as a Ranger we made a reenactment of the Ranger's invasion. I told my self then, "You were here in 1964, old fart, 20 years goes by fast doesn't it."
In 2004, my son, USMC, visited and had the same heart stopping feeling I did.
Thanks for sharing this!!!
I agree with you 100 percent on this one. We need to get our country back to what our Founding Fathers started it off to be!
One term, go home, let someone else do the job. Perhaps there will then be no professional politicians then, it wouldn't be worth it to them.
You came, you conquered, you won!!!
sounds familiar, sort of.
I think Caesar said - Vani-Vidi-Vici - I came, I saw, I conquered!
I guess your's would be - Vani-Vici-Victus.
I like that.
Thanks for sharing.
A very sad but very moving poem at the same time.
I don't know how to do this type of poetry yet so I can't
honestly critique it. It is well done, very sincere, and
has lots of meaning, so i guess that is a critique of sorts.
Thanks for sharing!
I enjoyed it very much.

This is an excellent peice of poetic art.
I am partial to free verse because I'm still
learning poetry.
You have a wonderful port full of great poems
Reckon I will be back often to read and LEARN.
Thanks for sharing.

This is a great twist on Snow White
I love the part
"Mirror, mirror on the wall," I call for its advice.
I paid a lot for this dumb dress. Was it worth the price?
The mirror looks me over and has me turn around
but as I'm turning I can see the mirror has a frown.
Pure delight.
And the caboose!!!
hilarious.
Excellent poetry!

I love this poem. It brings out a lot in the author.
My favorite part is
The sun meanders lazily across
the sky, each minute painting
new cave art on the towering
edifices , unappreciated by
the inhabitants, but beautiful
in the eyes of the universe.
You obviously see what many others do not!
Natural beauty in man made objects
This is tender and incredibly warm. I too have met some wonderful writers on WDC. Ithas become like an extended family. My freinds in the First People, the Seniors, the Veterans, and many others have given me encouragement, laudatory praise, and the desire to write and contribute.
Thanks
Superb!
Well written, excellent grammar, very nformative.
I can identify with you, although my primary specialty in the Army was Special Forces, my secondary specialty was Military Police Criminal Investigations. Although I did not spend much time working in the MP's, I learned to fully appreciate their trade and the rigors they have to endure.
I salute you!
