A soldier feeling sorry for the victims he slain? Then it leads to his own suicide? That's where I'm getting at and I like it. Dark and wicked.

I liked it, couple of misfires here and there but overall, it told a mighty tale. Review after a second read sunday and I've had time to digest the material. Looking good. Really great title too.

Quite a few flow-disruptors towards the beginning, but you're still pretty much at the top of it all, CoLd.

I was aware of those, but it's all in the way of reading the poem - faster at parts, or slower at parts. But thanks, guys. Very Happy

Oh, and try to guess the what this poem is really about - whoever gets it will get my respect (and not you, Dave; you already know!). Twisted Evil

Um . . . Jenkins?

Wait . . . was you under the influence? Confused

No!

Anyways, you're close with your guess of Jenkins, but it's not quite that. Any other takers?

That's a fine analysis, Demitri, and both of you are right when it comes along the lines of being about the Flood - but you're both off by a tad.

Instead, look at the last couple stanzas; preferably this one.

I know! I know!

It's about your mom!!!!

Sorry. Couldn't resist. Instinct got the better of me.
My guess would be that his unit got ambushed in a short hall by Flood and they all died except for him. He lived. Didn't die.

Demitri is of course one-hundred percent correct. Sergeant Johnson. Very Happy

It's Private First Class Jenkins. And the 'author' was Sergeant Major Avery J. Johnson. Up with the invincible Sarge.
