COMMENTS: Does a very good job of matching rhythm precisely in first lines of both verses. Avoids being overly sentimental; understatement interestingly juxtapositioned with content. The images of silent screams, scarred hands and lasting memories serve to redefine each in terms of the other. This poet has summed up a national tragedy in six lines and gently reminded us that medals tarnish but memories live on. A beautiful double trio.
