This is very timely!: This is very timely!

Thank you: Thank you so much for your insight and understanding.

I haven’t been around much: I haven’t been around much lately because I am focused on taking care of my disabled son, my number one priority, but it was wonderful to read your beautifully crafted work again.    I was impressed by the stirring sense of time and place, the upheaval, the apprehension and the excitement of the decade that you captured so intensely in this superior commentary.    Your focus on what was both a symbol of American pride and possible doom was startling and shrewd: At first I was picturing the dewy eyed masses celebrating the triumph of technology and then I was plummeted to the reality of the “police action” and young men, like you, robbed of something precious and irreplaceable.    Excellent work. Feeling it. 

Many thanks to you both. : Many thanks to you both. 

Revisiting this, it is just: Revisiting this, it is just as beautiiful and powerful as the first time I read it.

I like this poem. even though: I like this poem. even though several lines read as if written to conform to the rhyme shcee.  But that second couplet, lines 3 and 4, is BRILLIANT!!!!
