This is only the opinion and suggestions of the reviewer and it is still up to the author of this piece to consider this review as a corrective action or otherwise.

*Reading* THE POEM

This poem is a tribute to the American flag and what it represents not only to the American people, but to the world.

*Idea* WHAT I LIKED

Being a veteran, I gravitated right to this poem. For me, it speaks to the hope the flag offers, to all peoples. The flag is a poultice for an open wound, a light of peace, representative of a nation's pride.

*Star* STRUCTURE

This is a free form poem with no rythme scheme.

*Star* MECHANICS

I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes. The poem is easy to read.

*Star* DESCRIPTIONS

I liked: "white clouds, blue sky, and red stripes of dawn." The line paints a nice visual that the colors of the flag aren't just on the flag, but embedded in the nation's every day life.

*Star* PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS

The title fit the poem well and the opening lines engage the reader. I liked how the poem tapped into emotions; patriotism, hope, peace, and more. The author uses a good economy of words to blend those emotions with visual vinyettes that readers can see in their mind's eyes as they read. Well done! I have no suggestions for improvement.
