A Found Fragment Poem by jerry hughes

My father was bayoneted and shelled on the Somme. He died abroken down drunk tormented by muddy nightmare like you describe here years beore he otherwise might have. His war devastated generations of the family that followed. Great write Jerry thank you --Paddy

You frame this nicely with few words. The emotion pours out with power.

very sad. very good poetry.. very good at doing what it was written to do.

SUMS UP THE FUTILITY OF WAR. I HAVE SUBMITTED 3 MORE I THINK YOU WOULD LIKE AND WELCOME YOUR COMMENTS THE NIGHT VISITOR INNOCENCE LOST THE CHECKERS MEN YOU HAVE WRITTEN A LOT MORE THAN ME BUT I AM SLOWLY WORKING MY WAY THROUGH THEM PAM

This is asonishingly strong Jerry - - - I am not sure I have come across this one of your pieces before, but it has immediate impact and the raw fear comes through... very sad but potent piece...... from Fay.

A very frightening thought so far from home and in the middle of a war. Can feel the powerlessness of the situation. Yet the power of emotion is very strong, it comes through and hits home. Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn

Short but still powerful. Makes you think don't it? I detest war.
