(it's been awhile since I posted out of this series, and it was because I was missing "the war." I just wrote it now, so here I resume installments in the series. Here is #3. Enjoy!) "The War" step heavy, soldier as villians observe walking, no longer, advancing to serve step heavy, soldier ignoring the past draw your katana gain freedom at last swing heavy, soldier attack at its heart press to the tissue and shred it apart rest, weary soldier you've already won where was your army? you'd always had none. die, weary traitor you'd not had a cause sheathe your katana and fight with your claws run, weary soldier away from the strife recover your army recover your life clean your katana, your dead weight to haul rainclouds are forming and rain forgives all |

I liked the ending. I like the fact that rain forgives all. In fact, I think that was GENIUS. "rain forgives all".....wow You know.......I think that from this point on.......from here on out and forever in my life (and i'm not playing either) I'll view rain as a form of forgiveness or closure. Nicely done here Allan. You've inspired me with life. I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |

Well how do I top that eh? Sheesh. Well Allan, Carly's mind really liked this one. The rain dillio definitely kicked your rating on the coolness scale up a notch. Nice nice, very very nice. ~The host of Carly's mind "The eye sees a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination awake." - Leonardo da Vinci |

Allan: I loved the transitions in this piece. I think this is the best one of the series that I've read thus far. "If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh" -- Magus |

This poem is excellent Allan. Excellent. "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle" "Life's short. If you don't look around once in a while you might miss it." BothUnknown |
