Sing It And Write It

Folder: 
Invisible Poetry

.

Peace is like writing poetry;

Its own reward. The last parade

before the ending becomes

the last event. 
.
 

Troops come home, broken

and tired, standing in a yesterday

mirror hoping a poem will come,

a catchy tune, a ballad for being

out of harm.

.

So I sing and sing or write

it down and make it float

for anyone to find and heed

as if my fingers were a guitar,

my imagination the strings.

anti-war posture, anti-death statistics. Topical.

How exquisitely it floats!

How exquisitely it floats! You turned the weariness and trauma of war into a melody of hope. Skillfully penned and still relevant today as when you wrote it.

Broke it into 3 poems. Theme swings - so more about 1 thing each. Poems are always fresh when reread or newly read. :D
