Here is another fixer-upper. It is emotional, I hope..as long as emotional is not long for EMO. Is it OK?

Question

*****

THE A.P.O. (ARMY POST OFFICE)

Wrap the brown paper

Two times, and staple

Tape up the corners

With clear cellophane

Address the white label

Afghani high desert

To soldiers off guarding

A peace never known

Send them a garland

And mountains of chocolate

A note that you love them

The flag that you wave

Remind them to watch

Out for each other

And come home tomorrow

This time, to stay

Answer 1

Sure, get me sniffling first thing in the morning.

God Bless our troops!

Answer 2

It is okay, I would consider it no more then thoughtful, Not

outward emotional.

Answer 3

LOVE IT!

Change nothing.

Send it with the chocolates, + tell em Tucson loves 'em. too.

God bless!

Answer 4

I like the jab at the end about reups.  Good one.

Answer 5

In my opinion this is one of your best poems. This one sings. The message you send needs to be heeded--"soldiers off guarding/A peace never known" should be constantly reassured of our concern and our love for them.

Answer 6

Not bad.

Answer 7

Love it.  For a lot of people - out of sight is out of mind.  For those fortunate enough - not to have a loved one - involved in the war - it is imperative to send up the flag.  Well done. Nothing is more appreciated than a gift from home ♥

Answer 8

As a human being I have a particular affinity for "war poetry".......

Nothing can equal this!

except  perhaps " forgive them  for they know not what they do" ( and to clarify...in case it needs to be clarified..  I am NOT referring to those young people  in uniform)

Answer 9

Beautiful poem, bless our troops!

Answer 10

"Hi!"

"Well written and well said!".

WELL DONE  : )
