I rarely and I mean rarely ... :-) read war poetry but I had this feeling that coming from you it would most likely be very enjoyable to read and hey, I was right.

This in my humble opinion seemed to have a hint of a Shakespearian affect on me. I could hear the voice of the actor strongly reciting the words with urgency as they captivated me from beginning to end.

Kew-el !!!

Glad I dropped by.

this is possibly the most beautiful war poem i've ever read. it carried me away actually. some magical language and well-expressed metaphors made this a real treat to read. great work.
