Exceptional
This work has reached the exceptional level

How cleverly put and what a commemorable piece to last responders. Who, as you pointed out don't get much recognition because they are last responders for some reason or another. It's the First Responders that always get The praise but as you said and I agree, I'm glad that they came anyway. I'm sure that if a last responder read this ode to them, they would be grateful that someone recognizes their effort to be persistent to be on the scene in spite of the obstacles that arose to hinder them. Best wishes for the contest.

you might send this to your newspaper. Those responders you're saluting would appreciate it.
Very good message, rhyme and meter - making a good point.

Very well said. Somebody always has to be the last to arrive and they are never noticed. I love the flow of this poem, made it very easy to read. Good luck in the contest..

I like that you want to honor those who made the effort, even if it didn't help anything. Those uppity first responders get enough cheers. Thanks for lifting up the other guys (and gals).
