Question:The riotous lot from every hill fell
Upon the red coats marching
Hunters poaching a two-legged game
For twenty miles, the patriots sniped
At officer and enlisted alike
From Lexington to Concord Bridge
Hell fell on the British...and a free land was born...

There's a schtick running around posed as me TD, I wouldn't ever call your poems something that I'd write about. I'd like to see a line about the boston tea party in there. Love the poem TD, fyi the release form is on the way.

I'm pretty sure that Lexington and Concord was the FIRST major battle of the revolutionary war not the last but nice try though. I say this because you said "a free land was born..." A free land was not born after this battle. Report It

  • Your poem is s h i t.

    I do...I like it. I especially like the line "Hunter poaching a two-legged game". Very vivid...kinda made my heart leap.

    It's good. I think your sourcing of the poaching of game is fantastic. I didn't think it was so good at first (that line), then I thought wait, it's a poaching of the red coats. Then I thought, ahh, it's sublime.

    Cheers.

    cool

    It's nice TD......a shower of fresh spirits!

    This poem has no rhyme or rhythm, but you have some good phrases. Write it as prose.

    Looking down from above--no, I'm not God, just a Canadian--I see the theme of American history, so well known, so oft repeated, painted for me yet again.

    Perhaps it is because I am Canadian or, rather, not American, that I become tired hearing these laurels sung again, yet again, but I do.

    Still, liked the "officer and enlisted alike" line, it had a certain Universal sense beyond the mowing down of redcoats.

    Yes, I like your revolutionary poetry.

    Yes, I certainly doodle-doo!!!

    And poach they did while
    Listening, to the fife and drum.
    When that smoke cleared away,
    New Americans had won!!!!

    Hell had no fury like our fighting Americans!!!!

    Surely did, spied a couple of my ancestors marching there.

    Amazing that this poem imitates the marching of the soldiers. It could be a marching song. Congratulations on this one!

    Yes .....It's short & to the point

    Officers & Enlisted A like = Equals In Death
