PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Why do the people that come to our country try to change it to be like the one they left.  If they have that much conviction,let them lead a revolution in their own country to make it the way they want.  I like mine the way it is.

This one is from the heart

A tribute to those fallen on 9/11/01

As an ex veteran, I have always felt the common soldier never got the recognition he deserves.  The poem merely says that the soldier in the trenches is the real hero.

Dedicated to all American heros who have stood tall and perservered in this our darkest time in history.

This was the best I could do after 9/11/2001.

It didn't start out being in something of a Sonnet form.  After a while I thought about cleaning it up with regard to meter and eliminating the one weak rhyme, but then I thought, such an expression of National anger and sorrow shouldn't be all that artistically perfect in the first place.

Raw emotions should retain some of the edge.  It can't be all that pretty.  Perhaps I'll change it after some time has passed.  But for now, I'm leaving it just as it is.
