Awesome poem - every line a palindrome, and yet it not only makes sense individually and as a whole, but is judged powerful in its rendering. Well done!
There is a name on that wall ... Dennis Galloway. Arrived in Viet Nam a naval officer fresh from West Point .. his life ahead of him. Rest in peace, Denny.
I'm at a loss. I don't understand it. I hate that. I so want to understand it. Do all these people really understand it? They must. It SOUNDS beautiful read aloud. Perhaps some further pondering will clear it up.
Lovely to be......
