PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My balls seem to have shrunk.

My heart beats more than ever

and i seem to sweat even in the cold of night.

Basra is not what i expected.

It is so fucking hot, and the flies will not let me be.



The barracks at least feel safe

but i think my bottle has gone.

Sailed off down the river with a note inside.

"please excuse this private from active duty, he is scared"



Everyone else just acts cool,

me, i just act the fool.

It is the only way i can cope.

It"s the only thing that gives me hope.



My hands sometimes will not stop shaking.



Dear Mother,

            Just arrived and have settled in well..........
