What would be a good poetry question here?

Bravo Dante!! You are a man of principle, and others can learn from what you are saying. I particularly liked your enjambed "For peace begins; / It does not just exist." You seem to look beyond the smaller concerns of bruised feelings and see larger principles; my late husband had a word for such as you: "A man amongst boys." You see that any peace that is achieved will require that we make it; it will not just happen spontaneously. I frankly wouldn't care a whole lot whether others liked me or not because I like myself: I was a good wife, a good worker, and I am a good mother and grand mom, and yes a good person. Beside that, what does my meager talent as a poet, or the appreciation of strangers, really mean? Dante dear, I would never block you, you are a good man, and your poem is a good poem, a dose of much needed wisdom.
