I know my previous few poems were really bland and sort'a sucked. But I think this one is coming along. I need a name and I want to know if you guys and gals want me to continue the poem?


Outreached arms, with
Screams of terror.
Loss

Children, Mothers,
Fathers. PainSuffering, and
Loss.

Soldiers hauling,
kids and supplies away.
Their houses, burning in the midnight.

Gunshots ringing through stale air.
Peace disturbed by those
bloody, screams.

Soldiers guarding their hostages at gunpoint,
Tears running down their
Emotionless faces.

Sorrow passed
around the hamlet,
Doleful; Melancholy; Depressed.

Bland colours,
blood red sheets,
severed lives, and dirty feet.


An unfinished story,
of a little villa, ripped
apart by the devil's clutches.

Cut off in mid sentence,
by a serrated blade,
coated in venom.

Pages torn
voraciously from previous chapters,
It's history stalled.

structure, it lacks smooth change from one verse to the next. and as far as tittles,
"a day in the life of war"

I was under the impression the "lack of smooth transitions" added to the ugliness of the poem. Could I be wrong?
