    The Battle

    At last we meet in battle. Both of us have trained for this day... and both of us are ready to die for what we believe. I have looked death straight in the eye,,, never flinching... never showning signs of weakness. I am ready! Are you? Today one of us must die, but it is not my day. It is sad that I know more ways to take a life... than to save one.

    hope you dont mind constructive criticism; missed your a in the word straight. Also again; I realize your poetry style is short poems. I honestly think you would grow so much as a poet if you added more detail and expanded your ideas into longer poems. But; just a thought. I like what you do have and the messages. Well done.

    Thank you. I do appreciate your critcism. Straight has been corrected, and I will try to make them a little longer. Thank you

    Again as noted on another of yours 'why fear death" and are we realy taking a life if all that is taught is true or are we just helping birth..? Life is no meant to be saved just grow on...

    This is a deep poem. It makes one really think. Not sure what else to say other than it forces to make one think

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
