Let the truth be heard
With a voice so loud
Let the sound resound
And proud listeners be
Shout the truth out
Let the world see
We are Americans
We are Free

This poem certainly expands a large bubble of pride within my heart. I, myself, have written a rather long poem about freedom. The pride I felt when writing that poem rebounds into me with this poem. I also enjoy how the patriotism is conveyed within such a short poem. Keep up the good work!

-Happy President's Day!

I liked this poem :) I think it has a good meaning and message, and it makes me proud to be an American. We have a lot to be thankful for here in the U.S., and I think you conveyed that in your poem.

Excellent job! I also noticed the rhyme within the line, but was confused at the "and proud listeners be" area. My biggest suggestion is ADD PUNCTUATION. If you do that, it will help readers ;)

I liked the sound of we are free. This poem has a really nice ring to it.

Not bad. I like "let the sound resound," just the way there's a rhyme within the line. But I'd rethink the following line, "and proud listeners be." Technically it's a good line, but maybe add a period or something? I was confused, because without a period or even a line break - when I got to the end of it, I thought it went along with the next line, but of course it doesn't...

But overall, good job :)
