Hi J. Archer,

This is a fantastic poem. The tone is formal. It suits the poem and subject matter very well. The poem is about a king who keeps sending his soldiers to fight battles which have no point. I am hoping that the king will find a way to see the error of his ways. I read to the las word to see if this happens. I loved this poem. The rhyme is well done and consistent. It gives the poem a wonderful rhythm. The meter is consistent from line to line. The poem flows extremely well. It is a pleasure to read. You have used punctuation and grammar consistently in this poem. There is nothing to distract the reader from their reading pleasure. Great job.
