*Vine2* Hi There ! It is me ~LifeLessons~ and I am hear to take a peak at your poem. It grabbed my interest in review a Newbie.

*BurstV* First Impressions *BurstV*



The title really piqued my interest. I am a true believer in the safety of children around the world.

As I read this poem I feel you are also passionate about children. The world today is very harsh and the child is the one who will reap deep sorrow. You speak of many world issues of war and losses which is out of control. Very sad and I read it with a bit of anger. I felt that emotion as well.


*BalloonP* convention *BalloonP*


I see a convention of allusion here knowing you have used facts of the war and the devastation it holds.
You hold some rhyme scheme but not all the way through. I know this is a free verse poem and there are no real rules but a flow should always run through any poem. I am not a professional on poetry and still learning myself
.

*BurstV* suggestions *BurstV*



These are only suggestions and in the end this is your poem. I would shorten a couple of sentences in your stanzas to create that image with an easier flow to the ear of the reader.
example:The scars they bare run oh so deep, to deep to even show


I realize here you are trying to show great emotion in this sentence. However using the word deep twice in the same sentence threw me off somewhat. There are many other words to use to get across the same feelings.
maybe: " The scars they bare run too deep to show "

If you take the time to shorten some of these your poem would create a great sound to the ear with the same emotions.

*DropP* Final Thoughts *DropP*



I really enjoyed this poem. I love the message!! Thank you for sharing this piece. I hope to read more of your work.
