i have to say man, this is one great poem, i really like it, never looked at telling a story like that, in a way its the complete opposite to how a story should be told, only actions and no detail, he did this he did that and than he did this, but you took it to a level where its great like this, and the message, that was also very deep, though halsway i think there was a word i'm unfermilar with because it makes no sence to me:P

great poem

[Lord Beleth]

I liked the idea of the hidden message within the poem although it could have been pulled off more better. As a creator of such a poem you have to get real creative and try to come up with something real ingenious without really throwing the secret in the reader's face. But I know something like that is really hard to pull off.

Try to make it seem more sense and work on the rhyming next time also.

And, it's an idea I always wanted to experiment with. You did pretty ok for first try at it.

Keep'em coming.

Hails,
Lord Beleth

[Commander Demitri Wolf]

To Axim: Thankyou very much, the idea came to me to just write a very, very simplistic story, and then I figured the short sentences suited a poem style submission and that's how we got this. Which word are you talking about, if I might ask? Ambivalent? I think I used it in the wrong context, to be honest, I meant it in the way that they seemed so real and lifelike but at the same time they were dead and cold and distant pictures. Thanks for the response.

To Belath: It's good to get some constructive criticism and I thank you for that. I wasn't intending it to be a secret, really, I wanted it out in the open as like a semi-subtle message intertwined in the poem, and I think that the varying ways in which I presented the phrase suited the purpose I ended it to serve; as just a sort of... a message I suppose, to the Covenant from the thousands of dead UNSC soldiers. The second part of the message was just my way of saying Johnny embraced Death when it came with acceptance. I don't know, it was the last thing to be added to the poem Now the rhyming has been mentioned twice, and I wonder what you mean by this? I agree there's a word in there in the rhyming section that seems to fit only just, but the rest of the poem is not intended to rhyme at all, only the single sentence multiple character sections. Anyway, I digress. Thanks for the review, and I'd advise you to check out my other poems if you want to see the other styles I've used in writing; they're under my other moniker 'Commander Demitri Wolf'. Thanks once more.

To The Militant Poet: Thank you thank you, I really appreciate that accolade. Can I ask what of it you enjoyed?

Thanks again to everyone who read.
