Ceil...
Thank you for making that observation. I am by no means a morbid person. If someone were to just read one or two of my poems they may think I am obsessed with death or something but I'm really not. Battle maybe, hehe, just kidding. It's just that I think when humans are in the worst possible situations, it is then we are most beautiful.

Another warrior moment...
I see a
bearsarker taking a break... Your poems about war and death and battle convey also a great sense of humanity. Very nice!

I know know some guys who have been to war-some heavy duty shit-and they aren't the same no matter what. I thought that I would just add that happy note.

And, by the way, Alf. It is not your poetry. I think that the majority
of readers go for the stories and opinions and journals and don't read much poetry of anyones.

Katray...Thanks again, I know what you mean,
and I write mushy poetry too...but there is sooo much of that here it makes me want to write about other emotions. I realize that it isn't for everybody. I very much appreciate your comments.

Definitely not your poetry A Norseman. Your poetry is excellent I think; good flow and form and thought inducing messages. I've had mixed success with my own poetry, depends alot on the moods of our fellow bloggers. One clue: romantic, love, erotic type is almost always a draw. In my experience anyway. I have many poems (mostly removed) that are based more in political and social issues that don't do as well here.

Heartwrenching losses, yet the beaten one always gains something; soul strength, awareness of truths once hidden and hopefully, finally a peace that can't be lost. Great poetry.

Thanks wolf-girl...
I didn't think of it as sad really, in fact I see it as kind of hopeful. The human spirit can endure much.

Alf,
Wow. I love this poem. It was so powerful and filled with emotion. Reminded me of the movie Gladiator when he was being taken away from his wife and forced to fight. Excellent job!

Alf, I liked it a lot.
Having experienced WW2 firsthand, though not as a soldier, it was easy to inject oneself into your poem. You may also be interested in the similarities with my post Amerika in blog Mounting Pegasus.
