Hi James, thank you so much for your comment on my poem "My Dear Sister" it was fun to write for the contest. I never thought I could write in rhyme. This Senryu poem of yours, holds alot of imaginary, I just need close my eyes to hear that cannon go off, and the desperation on the soldiers faces. Well, written. By to way, I will be posting a new contest today, it will be called "Anything Goes". Have a wonderful day/night not sure what part of the world you are in. I am in Canada and is cold.
