Picturesque! It always amazes me how a few words can paint or create a short movie in the mind! Peace and love, Audrey

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.
