Tell me Father what you hear When you close your ears Tell me Father what you see When at night you dream Some say we dream in black and white I believe in color So tell me please, my Father-Hero What transpired those misplaced days Can you see the rocket's red glare Bombs bursting in air The sulferous smell The death of the fair Do the carbines rattle your brain Do you still feel the bullet Blowing your knee to smithereens Do you still feel the bullet Breaking your teeth Splitting your cheeks How many friends did you lose What were their names Are they in the National Cemetary Tell me, were the lost memories Worth the years lost in Korea The jungles of Vietnam What pain do you hide in your soul And why did you hide your medals Alicat, the Persnikitty As I sit here dimly thinking Watching modem lights a-blinking Churning out poetic hash. Lord, in all Your piety, Help me keep my sanity: Please don't let the modem crash! --Alicat |

Sad piece, but I like it!!!!!  Bridgette "Somewhere, somehow, it should be possible to touch someone and never let go again. To hold someone, not for a moment but forever." Unknown |

Ali, let's just say this poem made me feel! Eric. "We are the music makers and we are the makers of dreams." - Willy Wonka. |

What deep seated emotions you express in this poem, how many other's who have fought the battles hide because it's just to darn painful? Excellent writing here. |
