A very stirring philipic! It is well conceived, I'm just a bit unclear as to why you wrote it. Every poem should have a story-that is what sets each individual piece apart. There is a little weakness in that there are a few idiomatomatic word choices (wax, wane). The challenge for the poet is always to discover fresh, new language-which is why absurd is good! However, you are proof positive that beautiful ladies can write good poetry! LOL

It's amazing how a group of people can be energized by a well-known battle cry. Of course, the military makes good use this fact.

Morale can often sway both sides and can easily
be swayed by just one member of a group. One
can bring it down with a sneer while one with
a smile can make lightness appear. Enjoyable
poem...

Wow. This near perfect. I like how you linked the first and last stanza with the same rhyme scheme, and the picture you chose was especially powerful. Where did you find it?

There is an obvious energy here that makes itself know past the words, around the words and through the words. Nice package..... Picture and words both convey the energy that this piece oozes. Robbi

This is an uplifting poem of will and courage, Sue. I like your ABCDC rhyme scheme. Nice meter too. In your author notes you mention that the phrase is also known as esprit de corps. I think that that would have been a better spelling in the poem. Anyway, you did nice work here.

I liked this piece because you chose words that were not obvious. Your writing reads and flows just as the words of great poets before us.

Thank you for writting and sharing. Keep posting...we will all keep reading.
