Thank you for this great tribute to our veterans. So many have suffered PTSD from being in the battlefield and are haunted and can't return to a normal life. Great 5-7-5 for the contest challenge! Congratulations on the win!!

Congrats on your win in the Ode 5-7-5 C contest. Your short 5-7-5 poem captures perfectly the ongoing tragedy of the state and lives of many former military soldiers who have come home and continue to fight the memories of war and find themselves still in the trenches.
All the best,
Eugene

Congratulations on your well-deserved win and your ode focusing on the unfortunate plight of the nation's thousands of homeless veterans. They fought in the trenches for our country to come home to sleep in the trenches of city streets.

Very well worked out and put together. It takes some doing to effectively tackle such an important and emotive subject in this constraining format. Well done.

Our homeless problem is a black eye on our government. Especially our homeless Vets! What a wonderfully written poem. Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day, and God bless.

Your poem moved me, it focuses on the realities of war and our veterans. Such noble individuals reduced. We need to treat them as heroes, and give them all the help they need, unfortunately some would still slip through the cracks. Grear job.

a great ode and haiku about honoring our vets too many of whom have ended up homeless or worst after coming home from War War is a terrible thing and so many vets are hurting.

Unknown bard, thanks for this reminder that as we civilians enjoy our comforts of safety and security and snuggle under downy fresh covers,
there are literally thousand of military comrades out there somewhere,
ensuring we continue to have these "freedoms." Good luck in the contest.

The words of your poem are so true and so sad. We, as a country, have let our Vets down so horribly. The artwork is perfect for this piece. Beautiful Ode 5-7-5 poem. Thanks for sharing.

This poem, Still in the Trenches, presented with a 5-7-5 formatting, seems to find that the post-war has much of the past war still very much with the broken veteran.
