Yes, you blitzed all right and you wrote this poem with so much vivid misery. You got your point across. The picture of the child has a special effect because this is the World they shall inherit. What can I say Dean, you rock!!1

This blitz poem hits on many of the emotions and sights involved in those necessary conflicts that generationally turn humans inhumane, impress hopelessness into people's lives, and with the most extreme prejudice, erase futures for both the dead and the living. Great presentation, Dean.

This is an mind stunning commentary in the horrors of war. The terrible things humans do to each other when they shut out the sunshine in their minds and souls.
I read this as the rules stated, very quickly. I read your author notes and you were perfect in meeting all the requirements. Even without the gasping photos, the words running through this poem still create scenes of scary, tearful destruction.

I expect I would get lost half-way through trying to write one of these. It appears you have done it quite well. Wars have always been and will probably continue. There has to be a better way..
Well done, Buck

Outstanding write, Dean. You pulled this challenge off excellently. Plus it's not all this happy, pretty bull crap. A deep, meaningful piece. You get my vote, friend. Have a good one.

Your wonderful contest entry makes a horrible statement on human society. It's scary, reality is scarier than fiction. But you're right, war and murder has been going on since the beginning of time. I read the contest rules, ALL, of them and they are very detailed. As far as I can tell your poem is excellent. Good luck.

Excellent commentary on the subject of war. Indeed, will we ever learn that we get nothing good from war?
From what I can see you followed the rules exactly for placement of words in required lines and in the title. And you made it rhyme, which was not mentioned as a requirement. Excellent flow of thought and meter. Superbly done!

This is an excellent poem for this prompt. I would say that this seems like you are having fun with words, but I don't think fun is the right word:)
I love the flow, and and how well you crafted your lines.
