Comment from Pantygynt

Excellent

You get rid of the essential word "Freedom" as early as possible in this clever acrostic that includes rhyming couplets and a concluding rhyming tercet. Without the addition of some form of poetic device the acrostic seems to me to be too simple a thing to call poetry. You have successfully avoided that snare. Well done.

We all need to take time to remember those who gave their lives for the freedoms we have. There are also the ones who fought and did not pay the ultimate price, but who were crucial to the victories that give us the freedom. Patricia

A very well-written acrostic poem. All the wars and fights for freedom leaves us with the pain of remembering the ones who lost their lives to give the people freedom and yet they are still prisoners in themselves.

A very good example of this difficult style of writing and an excellent choice of subjescts. I tried this style but was told SDLDIKIDKJS is not a word.

And these days, daughters too, God forbid, as I'm old fashioned and don't think women should be in combat. Love your acrostic on freedom, a wonderful entry! Blessings...

This is a well crafted acrostic which does honor respectfully. The rhyming was well placed and fortified the poem. I couldn't find the poet's name, but congratulations on your acrostic. Mike1817
