An excellent piece of work Connieann. I am history buff by choice and through study and I particularly enjoy historical pieces. This was well done, smooth, and informative. I am out perusing ports and decided it's time to hit the moderators, they are - after all- writers first. The trip so far has been great.
Thanks for sharing.

I love to read these poems of love. I wrote one for my wife "A Wonderful Life" and enjoyed it.
I especially like the fact that you write because you like to write, not to get it read. I do that also.
You like werewolves, I wrote a poem "The werewolf of Halloween" you might enjoy.
This was a well done poem.
I am no poet, but enjoy reading poetry.
Very well done. This is the kind of poetry I cannot yet write. I stick to traditional because I never had the opportunity to study poetry, but, I thoroughly enjoy reading a good poem like this one.
A well written and engaging piece of work. I have always admired most of our Civil War Generals, but have found Jackson to be a bit strange myself. Although he received many accolades during the war, his leadership during the early campaigns are very questionable. I am happy to see that someone other than myself sees his exotic behavior in the respective light.
Thanks for sharing, the writing is very well done.
Like you I enjoy the sights and sounds of the ocean. In fact, I enjoy the sights and sounds of all natures' wonders.
This poem reminded me of my poem "I have sailed the seas of sorrow".
I really enjoyed reading it.
Well done.
I am no poet but enjoy reading good poetry.
A well written and interesting bit of old country humor along with a lesson learned.
Where did you obtain the old language? It fit in very well with the tale.
A great poem and a great idea.
Just the key words alone (kindness-temperance-etc) could be developed into great poems.
You've done a great job with this one.
I am no poet, but, I enjoy reading it.
Thanks for sharing.
An excellent poem.
I enjoyed it in particular because I do a lot of lecturing on the Civil War mostly to Civil War re-enactment groups and the SCV and SUV.
Thanks, this was a real good one.
I really enjoyed the action in this interesting and well paced piece of writing. The dialogue was 'spot on' and the characters were awesome. A great read, glad I decide to go back and read some of the people I haven't read in a while. Keep it up, you are an excellent writer.
Very well done Merry, and yes, you have a great sense of humor.
I love the inanimate object you chose and the way you described the feelings of this
object is terrific.
Thanks for a great one!
Well done.
This is the kind of letter I often wanted to receive when I was in Vietnam many years ago.
Thank you for thinking of our young men and women in harms way.
I find that this story was well written and it kept my interest throughout the brief read. I love the premise of the story and think it could be developed into a much longer story with lots of twists and turns.
Reminds me a bit of my premise, "Proof of Life after Death"
This, like the other veterans poem, is extremely well done and I could not possibly recommend any changes. I am no poet, but I like to try it on occasion. I have a couple poems of veterans you may enjoy, "Am I that Forgotten Soldier"
and "A date that will live in Infamy" (Navy) "A DATE THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY" . These are no where as well done as yours, but, I hope you will read them.
