| Very potent, Melissa. I am far from being politically-minded but somehow, through your sharp visuals, the politics of war are brought abundantly before the mind's eye and into sharp focus so as to be highly penetrating. Your final stanza is superb... Could be a lavish oil painting that one would need to stand before for hours in order to absorb its scope and content. Excellent, thank you. Kate xx |

Melissa,
Don't know if mankind will ever learn. Those that forget the past are condemned to repeat it, is what the message in this poignant write tells me. Sad, yet very well penned.
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. |

| Melissa, maybe when the last man or woman is standing we will have gotten the message! Your message is clear and short, although with all these beautiful metaphors, it expands a whole universe of meaning in wonderful poetic form. Yours! Jasmin Horst |

| This is indeed one of your best poems and love the imagery within it. And could easily be the beginning of a great book. |

| One, if not the, best piece of poetry writing I have seen coming from you, Missy. YOu have so many metaphors alive and screaming within the structure of the piece I can almost hear them . . . Your words touched this old guy today . . . Thank you for that . . . |

I truly enjoyed your work here. It amazes me how history continues to repeat itself. One has to wonder, especially whennit is at such a high cost. A great write!
