- ""more is not yours to give" damn...that line hurts like hell, and I have no clue why...er...no, I take that back...I do know why...it's because that's about how I feel right now. This is lovely...wonderful job. *Evangel*"

- "You're giving me the perspective I only hear about when my soldier writes home. It makes me...I dunno...feel something. I'm not sure what it is. ' "They" don't exist' except for inside the ones "they" leave behind."

- "one, you misspelled feelings and two this poem is making me want to write a response poem. This is a very powerful point of view and very insightful"

- "this is absolutly the most incredible poem i think i've ever read. I know this feeling all too well and no matter what i said i never found the words to say what i wanted about it. "

- "This was an unusual perspective - always a treat. How does it feel to be one of "them"? To fight the battles someone else decides need to be fought? To be, in the most literal sense, a pawn? Wouldn't you rather be a "knight," or a "bishop"?"

- ""Simply poetic," indeed. Perhaps not the most original subject matter, but, instead, a feeling to which we can all relate... keep writing... you'll find the words."

- "There are few things more comforting than a peaceful soldier who knows how to gaze... this reminds me a little of the Tao Te Ching's statement that a soldier should attend war as a man who attends a funeral - with dignity, respect, and a sense of sorrow.."

- "The repetition of words definitely adds to the hesitation and feeling of regret behind this... I enjoyed how it moved from compassion to nonchalance to guilt... it was both masterful and simple."
