I mean, because of the subject matter, would you consider this piece a sort of B-grade tear-jerker ?

If you've seen it, please refer only to my Question above.

A Soldier’s Self-Portrait

When up unending skies drew Soldier’s eyes,
To desert’s night, celestial canvas glow,
He summoned stars to light-brush alibi,
And paint his place in war, long cancell’d woe.

With hand he filled shy moon to full adorn,
Aligned pale Milky Way to stand at ease,
Designed stray, scattered light to uniform,
And finger-painted threads to formal green.

With mighty breath he blew North Star to chest,
A hero now, brave, war-etched portrait he,
Then traced a frame as wide as arms could stretch,
Consigned his art, imprisoned tear set free.

This Soldier’s work of art a desert breeze,
In blood stained sands lay Artist’s final Peace.

You know, lots of folks fancy themselves as sonnet creators.

You actually are one.

I actually want to finish reading a sonnet when you have written it.

They are very, very good.
