Beating drums of war,
Thundering into our souls,
Grow louder each day.

Excellently penned, profoundly accurate!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

VAS ~

Thank you for the "excellently penned", but I'd wish that my poem wasn't so "profoundly accurate"...

Peace & Light,
Linda

Thank you. It is easier to portray an emotion when one is feeling it so strongly...

Earth Angel - and now it looks as if it's here. I pray for what happens over there, and now that we're in it that it's short...

Sweep me up, rhythm,
take caution, fear, and heartache-
leave me victory.

Yes, a "victory" would do just fine!--especially in short-order time!

Thank you for the passionate senryuic response!

I can already feel the change of mood in many of the poems that I have been reading...

Let's join hands across the miles, my dear friend.

May love and light always shine upon you!

Deeply felt
Shockingly true
Infinitely sad

Great job!!  Ken

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light
