Hello Jaybird,
This is an awesome poem about being grateful for this beautiful land we live in. We should all take time to stop, pause and reflect where we are in life. We have many freedoms in our country that many people don't have. Oh, yes I am grateful. This is a beautifully written poem on reflecting on things within our homes, and being grateful we even have a peaceful home. Great rhyming of your end words. Well done on this amazing poem.

Jaybird, thank you for another poignant poem. It is worthy of six stars because it speaks of freedoms and rights we Americans are used to. I hope hundreds of years, our country stands for the same rights as we enjoy today. I love the last stanza which serves as a warning and a cry out for us to keep Smerica just and free,
Exceptional poem!
Good luck in the contests.
Blessings,
Cindy

Hello Jaybird1, your poem pulled on my heartstrings, and it eloquently expressed the freedoms that we have had the priviledge to enjoy across our Nation. I especially liked:
My home provides both peace and rest,
in country God has seemly blest.
Here I can worship as I please,
erect or on my bended knees.
(Soulful imagery)

Amen on this one, Jaybird. I love tuning into Fanstory to get a dose of you. This poem is eerie and melancholy, and I so hope that our country can find a way to unite once again to lead the world with strength. Thanks for another welcome coffee break, and good luck to you.

very well done a political message in the form of a traditional sonnet form. Your question at the end sums up the message and the spirit of the poem
The fear I have gives cause to weep-
How long can we, this freedom keep?

Hello Jake,
You've written another excellent poem with very good meter and rhymes.
It's all up to the people. If they want a dictator, democracy will fade.
These things usually come and go, but there is no guarantee.
We will be divided for some time to come,
but poetry helps to unify.
Best wishes to you.

Your thoughts are beautifully expressed, and your fears are shared by so many of us in this country. I know things won't turn around overnight, and likely won't turn fully over the next four years, but I'd like to believe that, with a new president in office who believes in democracy and the rule of law, we might at least head in the right direction.
You come across as very genuine and honest, and a true patriot in the real sense of the word.

I share the fear and concerns about our liberty. The Democrats and liberals are running around crazy attacking conservatism. Even the cancellation of one person's free speech is one too many. We must all keep talking. It is the only way to keep the freedom.

Loved the theme and the lyrical way it flowed. I can see all you are expressing here in a visual sort of way. Great job

These are troubled times Jay and you are right, we need to give much thought concerning our future. Your last two lines give a chilling thought - how long can we keep our freedom?
Well done.
Blessings
