    Poem Commentary

    my brother told me about bootcamp one night and i filled in the rest.

    Army Life

    Army life isn't all that fun
    The boot camp the battle RUN
    Boot camp is brutle no doubt
    Help me, help me, HELP GET ME OUT
    Run, crawl,hide
    Boot camp not a fun ride
    Cuts and bruises
    Leave no man behind no one loses
    Done with training now comes the hard
    But before we go send a card
    Fling off over the sea
    I wish I could flee
    Guns, killings, greusome site
    Hope we don't lose this fight
    The US army tough and strong
    Please let me go home before long
    Army life stinks and there's no getting out
    Help us out hear our shout
    WE DON'T LIKE IT HERE
    I just wanna go home to my dear
    Still some dead
    I got in way over my head
    Army life not that fun
    Well at least we have won

    This had a very traditional flow, and is far different from the type of writing I write, but I definitely did enjoy it because It did bring up good points!

    Interesting. I liked the foundation of your poem but you should revise it a little. All in all you have talent and I enjoyed the read.

    Very strong emotional picture. It leaves a lasting impression of some one who feels misled.

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
