Thank You To Our Soldiers And A Tribute To Old Glory And A Prayer For Peace
Thank you Dedicated to soldiers and their loved ones For those who have laid in fox holes,carried guns,marched for hours. For those who have had cold sleepless nights,endless days of discomfort. For those who have endured the agony of war for my sake. Thank you. For those who have gently kissed a loved one goodbye, and with a tear looked back for a last time, For those who have found courageto carry the sword of liberty. For those who have flown with the eagle. For those who have landed on foreign soil. Taking freedom to other countries while keeping freedom in ours, Thank you. For those who have lost limbs,lives and loved ones. For those who have lost friends,sisters ,brothers,mothers and fathers, For those who have sacrificed and gave their all for freedom's sake. Thank you. For those who have found the courage to stand, For those who have reached out a hand for their fallen comrade. For those who give freedom to strangers ,and a hope for peace. For those who sacrifice all they love, and pay the price for freedom. Thank you." Old Glory Do you know where this flag has been? Prayer for peace Foreign winds blow across the sea, The earth begs for wars to cease, In the distant they play the war drum, Rain falls and the earth bleeds Foreign winds blow across the sea, Bio Of Judy Arline Puckett I am currently residing in Monroe, La.

Poetry and Popular Culture Is poetry too complicated for the average reader? Is it too cryptic, scholarly? If you ask a large group of average people what they like or don't like about poetry, you'll get a few different answers, but there is an overwhelmingly common category of responses.One of the main reasons that people say they aren't addicted to contemporary poetry is that they feel it is too cryptic. Two Poems, with Figurative Language Says Mr. Dennis Siluk, when asked to review his poetry somewhat, for he hesitates all the time when I ask him to so; I can tell you.

I mealy noticed, now they're gone, How quickly passed the flowers! Time does not stop youth's bells; It was like I was in a spell, And my face now shows the hours!Ah yes! My youthful past days, Still lively in my golden age, When all was quick and new Now wrapped in pictures and books, And friends and family were all I knew And love was shown by friendly looks!#741 6/26/05Old AgeThey stop by to see me now To find what's old and new, They peer into my-everything, And criticize my views; They tell me what I should like, And that I should be grieved-These are my fragile friends That takes the strongest liberties?I mean to take the buzzer off; And put the phone outside the door; In vain I speak to tell them why -I shan't live here anymore!#742 6/26/05A note on Style: some people ask, "What style of poetry to you like the best?" I can never answer that question; it is open-ended to me. If I feel like breaking free from tradition as in the poem of: "Old Age," so be it; and if I feel traditional verse, a stricter formal pattern should be used, as in "Boyhood," and can contribute richly to the poem, so it is.
