A Hostile Land

24 November 2003


In a land
were hostilities stir
A place of
the mind as it were

This state of
good and evil born
As if death was
a memory in spirit to mourn

There was unrest
like in a sleepless night
Set out in a mixture
of rotations left to right

Far be it to battle
through a dark shadow of force
To awake from this universe
made aware of an external course

Thank you for your views. I will admit it is not one of my best and I have found that the last 12 months of mixing with fellow poets across the world by way of the Internet has improved my writing and include more than one change to the way I compose my verse now
