This is a very good ABC Poetry contest entry. I was just browsing and decided to pop into your portfolio. This is a very descriptive piece and it is not a wonder that you won the ABC contest. I hope you don't mind me reading it but just wanted to say it is a great read.

Don`t mind at all. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing.

Hopefully I'll get round to reviewing the one I was going to - the one with the horse picture. Sorry, I clicked into your profile instead and had a different read :-)

Congrats on winning the contest! It is a superb entry with potent imagery, tone and message as well as superb use of alliteration and rhyme to enhance the phonetics. Fine flow too. Sounds super read aloud. All lines are polished and tight. No nits. Bravo. Kudos on winning.
Warmly,

War has no victory regardless of what the wining side says.
The details in this poem quietly ring true while telling of the screams of those caught in the cross fire. The narrative is harsh, core deep ,and unforgettable true. I can see why this strong piece won the contest. Congratulations.

Hello Idamarty, Your poem is excellent in format and content. Good flow - your lines are smooth sounding and not forced in any way. Of note:
Death is quick, the river flows
Redder than a fresh cut rose
(Profound - deep imagery)
As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck. LateBloomer

A siren sounds as bombs fall
Baneful blasts destroying those
Clinging to no life at all
Death is quick, the river flows
Redder than a fresh cut rose
A very strong ABC verse, describes the misery of whoever passed through a way. This picture is exactly what happens when a bomb falls. I have been through a war of 16 years. You came strong, and right to the point. God luck. Terry xoxo
