You express so very well what the ones who come home often feel after having been "touched by fire" in the days of their youth, as one famous Civil War veteran put it. I agree with Kat: I like how you took the prompt and claimed it as your own! A very worthy ticket, and a worthy tribute to our veterans, so many of whom have given so much and ask only our understanding in return.Carolina Lintheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16335905555994442416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484142014229407289.post-46944273310347739102010-12-04T17:59:05.215-05:002010-12-04T17:59:05.215-05:00Excellent tribute to a warrior.Excellent tribute to a warrior.quillyhttp://quilldancer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484142014229407289.post-2461059350206764752010-12-04T16:33:57.733-05:002010-12-04T16:33:57.733-05:00Been out all day, Kelley, so I just received your ...Been out all day, Kelley, so I just received your comment now.<br /><br />I think the way you interpreted my assignment was admirable! I like how you adapted the concept to your poem and told a great story - one that many can relate to.<br /><br />"When honour claimed his time" and "rejected that mirror" really stood out for me.<br /><br />Adding you to my sidebar right away!<br /><br />KatKat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484142014229407289.post-44824915396611023402010-12-04T15:48:29.954-05:002010-12-04T15:48:29.954-05:00This is a great tribute to one of our heroes - and...This is a great tribute to one of our heroes - and a good poem too!The Bughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07509037206264761261noreply@blogger.com
