Dr. Upma A. Sharma Poet Kimo

The Roman Legion

Synonymous of The Roman legion,
Is strength and patriotism,
Courage put to swords!

Determined bloodshed, belligerent war,
Humanity stands the gaff,
Victory or failure ?

James Fraser July 7, 2014 at 2:22 PM So many victories, and one massive failure. Your poem captures them well, and so deserved of it's win, nice one Upma, James :)

Robert Lindley July 4, 2014 at 7:42 AM Congrats on your win my friend.

Andrea Dietrich July 2, 2014 at 1:33 AM I like how you questioned its value. I think the romans were often too brutal and they certainly had a great decline. I like this .

Justin Bordner July 2, 2014 at 1:16 AM I admire how intelligently you address the ethics and meaning of the Legion's motivations Upma. I think of the great aphorism, " might makes right ". J.A.B.

Paul Callus July 1, 2014 at 7:16 AM Hmmm...this is a different take; you give your own 'dressing' to the theme. Short but expressive. Congrats on a worthy win. // paul Dr. Upma A. Sharma July 1, 2014 at 9:01 AM Thanks Paul ! Ur comments r always sought for! Glad to hv exclusive ones !
