I seem to have caught Sven's Sickness and I say to him,"A pox on you Sir Sven for passing on your passion'd plague.Now when am I going to sleep?" Still! gonna write it all out until the cure comes.

Defending the weak,
Fight the good fight
Protecting the meek
Standing for right
Tears on his cheek
At all, loss to might
Strong as pure teak
Withholding the night
Holding those bleak
Relates to their plight
Defending the weak
Fight the good fight

Writing out our souls,
Words are blood to the poet.
A well written piece, it flows onward.
Although,
This piece could be added to,
With lines between, the lines,
Perhaps something of an event.

Defending the weak,
Fight the good fight
Protecting the meek
she lost herself in crying
Standing for right
Tears on his cheek
At all, loss to might
he walked off with out trying
Strong as pure teak
Withholding the night
Holding those bleak
she felt herself now dying
Relates to their plight

etc.

I liked it as it was,
But it does set one to thinking,
The sign of a good bit of poetry.

Gloom,
I liked your additions, but I'm not sure they went with what I was trying to say about EagleOne. Perhaps they did, let me think about it.
Be well

Read the poem and Prof. Gloom's response, and I am not sure which way to say to go. I like the original piece, but I too, wonder if there could be more said about it. But that would be very difficult, holding the challenging rhyme pattern you have here.
My opinion, leave it, and maybe write Eagle One- Proud Warrior, The Story, and add those detailed events as Prof. Gloom suggests, I think that too, would be a wonderful poem to read.

I liked Gloom's idea too.  However, I also enjoyed the original.  It was short, sweet, and carried a lot of meaning.  Both poets are pretty good, anyway, lol, so both versions are quite well done.

Victoria,
as we love him.

Paula,
I agree, he is all that and more  

fractal007,
when you have the inspiration, like Eddie, it's easy.

EagleOne,
You my friend are very, very welcome and all I did was wrote what I saw, although maybe I didn't catch all of you, I tried to catch you implicit essence. I hope I suceeded.

Be well
Kethry

and you should hear his manifesto on fate and destiny  
wonderful portrait of our Eagle Kethry
his quiet comfort spirit and gentle strength shine in his poetry.
well done poet

Danced butterflies in the wild
This angel, this woman ,
who loves me with the innocence of a child.

BDC,
thanks, I don't see why he should blush. It would be different if it were UNdeserved praise, which it isn't...

Janet Marie,
Yes I think he shines, he's one of the rare gems, as are you.

Be well
Kethry
