Creative use of this challenging form for a powerful message. Yes, wars do cost--sometimes too much. The last line leaves the reader with a strong impact. Thank you for your kind words on my poem. Keep on writing! Karen

You did a wonderful job with this form of poetry. Dramatic, and sadly filled with truth for too many. You are an amazing poet Michael. Thank YOU for your thoughtful comments Michael, as they fill my heart with great joy. Your friendship means very much to me too. Love, Shar
