Burnt Rags


What news breaks from this treaty
but the patterns read in blood stained water
a message sent in ripples down stream
Heart frays ending in the shadow of white flags
in midst of rubble a woman clings to burnt rags
a peeling of man's haste in the failing of his charge
At large the scoundrel of emotion's stabbing thorn
a trail of scarlet spilt in paste upon the leaves

Thanks for the replies, though I'm not quite sure I comprehend the one left by "carolinadreams" I appreciate it just the same.

Awesome write my fellow poet!  I felt like I was "Scarlet", hehe......standing on the sidelines of the civil war, experiencing everything your wrote!  Loved the story it portrayed and how it flowed.

I apologize for the late welcome, but most definitely Welcome to Passions.
This is an outstanding write.
Love the images and lack of cliches'
