Your poem creates a lot of visions in your head. I think its a wonderful ode to both the veterans and men who are still fighting somewhere on this planet for us. Great job of telling a story in a few words! Good Luck in the Contest! :o) Helvi2

Feedback is not always easy to give when you are sleeping in the trenches. I'm sure the service is not good, because there's no bed for you to sleep on. It appears soldiers have a difficult life in this poem. Thank you for your service.

Comment from Baltimore Born
This is a well-crafted poem. The word in this poem says it all. This is a problem that needs to be fixed. Your syllable count in each line is on point. Your picture compliments the poem well. Nice job.

Comment from Brenda Strauser
Such a powerful poem. The picture is perfect for this poem. There are more vets like this. It is so sad. They gave their lives so we can be free. Great job on this

I've seen that very same photo, he actually looks quite comfortable, but obviously he has to get through the day, without a roof, perhaps a hot meal, I don't think any of us are far from it. Beautifully written, good luck, blessings Roy

Comment from Julie Helms
This is one of our countries greatest shames. Not taking care of the vets who defended our country. I was angry recently when I read an article about the vets being kicked out of a shelter in order to bring in the illegal immigrants. Thank you for writing an ode in honor of them. Julie.

Comment from Douglas Goff
Poignant strong and very good. Also true. This homelessness problem is a plague upon our nation.
It really should be a "all hands on deck" situation. Sadly, most people
Ignore them.
Good luck in the competition!
