Great description of a balloon Julie. It's the twisty long ones I struggle with!

Welcome to WOL Julie. As others have said, your way of writing poetry is just that, yours. Don't be hijacked by fashion: say what you have to say in your own words and you'll be fine. And thank you kindly for liking my poem 'The hardest day', I look forward to reading your work. Bon chance. John

Michael,
What you are searching for is true and this quest will bring you into regular contact with an abundance of cheats. Persevere.

And bless you dear Keith. I am very sincerely sorry for your loss. Nothing clever to say. Thank you for everything you and your family have ever given to keep us safe John
London radio, which we listened to every evening, announced encouraging news: the daily bombings of Germany and Stalingrad, the preparation of the Second Front. And so we, the Jews of Sighet, waited for better days that surely were soon to come.

Original item by John E Marks
John,
Will we ever know the sacrifices made during those days when we fought for our very survival? Will we ever know the heart ache of those who lost their nearest and dearest? The quotation at the beginning of your poem I think came following either the Battle of Kohima or Imphal. My father fought there and thence into Burma. Whilst he fought in the Far East his younger brother was blown to smithereens in Tournai in a German Air Attack. My grandmother never recovered from his loss. Bless them all.
Thank you for this
Keith

Greetings! I am wandering because I'm looking for three things that don't exist. When I finally don't find them, I can stop wandering.

Reflective...different and diverting from your usual contributions.
No music required - except perhaps a melancholy lute or guitar?

Jason,
Another gem of a poem. As I was reading this the ideas of Greek and Roman Stoicism came to mind, particularly the works of Epithetus and Seneca.
Thank you for this

Strong beat provided by the repitition so skillfully employed. Enjoyed the uncompromising finger pointing at the wrong dooers and the wrongs done.

Quite right Brian they have rights too - not many, I know.
That's a weird coincidence Julie - Whatever next? Maybe a poem when the time is right! I'll watch out for that.
Thanks for looking in Jordyn !

thanks for the 'likes' and the kind comments - I rate this as one of my best pieces - and am really pleased how the song worked out from it.
At least they got the recognition they deserved this year. SOFEV (Sons Of Far East Veterans) has a nice ring to it Greg ?

A well constructed and thought provoking poem which merits several readings. Well crafted and that which speaks louder today than in recent times.
