Comment from Bill Schott
This sedoka, The Wrong War, has the proper formatting and finds the troubled heart of the returning warrior finding his own home lacking the attention he abandoned to fight elsewhere.

Comment from Mrs Anna Howard
Such a heartbreaking narrative that unfortunately rings true again and again throughout the history. When the country you fought for has changed into a different country you do not know. So very well done!

Comment from Jesse James Doty
I believe all wars are wrong. I don't understand the title, The Wrong War, is it our revolutionary war taking place in the good old United States? Or are you actually going back to your home country that is at war with itself?
I abhor violence of any kind, and war is hell as far as I am concerned. The artwork you chose captures the essence of war and how it takes our lives away one body at a time.
Thanks for addressing an important issue in today's political climate.

I appreciate your thoughts on war and agree that they hurt more than they help. Your sedoka is powerful and timely. Similar to mine. Well said, as always.

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Very nice artwork and presentation, kahpot.
-You wrote a very good poem with effective imagery.
-A very good opening verse that shows your
emotions upon returning to your country,
especially, "anxious heart racing time."
-A very good second verse also shows
how returning has impacted you, and
the goal you hope to achieve in your homeland.
-Very well done.

Comment from Tom Horonzy
Any sane person would agree that all wars are wrong. I cannot think of any where lands conquered were not eventually lost, whether they were the Greek, Romans, Egyptians or Babylonians. And what did Cain gain in slaying Abel?

Comment from evilynne
Your poem is well written and poignant. Your author's note is well state - there is no such thing as a good war. Often the victory hollow, leaving only a trail of heartache and destruction. Thank you for the author's note explaining the poetic format. Best of luck in the challenge! Evi
