nice lines shows your respect and love for your country....
"Flags fly Fourty" words seems beautiful together..but number of syllables is not accurate.. your first row contains 6 syllables and second row contains 8 syllables.

This rating does not count towards story rating or author rank.
The highest and the lowest rating are not included in calculations.

    Thank you for the review, I fixed the second row, now has seven syllables. The first line reads 'Flags fly Fourth' (not Fourty) which should keep that at 5 syllables. I appreciate your careful edits. :-) Carolyn

This is a good 5-7-5 poem about the fourth of July holiday. The flags fly, the poet is grateful, and life is peaceful and free.

Cheers,
DW

This work has reached the exceptional level

Well deserved six star reward for your poem, artwork and author notes Carolyn. I to have made some good friends on this site (I think you well know you're one) nd if not for our freedom and democracy, we would never have had that opportunity. I am grateful to our forefathers and their insightfulness, our military for keeping us safe and free to he able to walk our streets and I pray our current day politicians have one-tenth the strength they had to continue in the footpath they began.
Well, well done. Jphn

Its sure a great day in the American history. I am not American, but my wife is, so I came to learn a lot about their traditions. Hope you had a great day.

i like the directness of the poem, no big words, just plain message about how proud the author is being an American, proud of the legacy of a great country, that is peace and liberty. You followed the rules for writing a 5-7-5 poetry. God bless.
