If Matters Fact ~~~ ostracized forsaken place these bars of time no saving grace from whence I came a fence I face around and round no end in chase ~ No-one to share I stand alone to cheat despair I scratch this poem if matters fact it has no home amid the care dispense of drone ~~~ [This message has been edited by Rex Allen McCoy (edited 11-12-2001).] |

Loneliness and despair echo through each line. Hope you are feeling better soon, Rex. All writing comes |

Rex, You express this too well. Hopefully not from over experience. Courage.  |

A moving poem, Rex. Feeling a bit fenced in all alone? Hope it really is "just a poem" .....or at least one with a short shelf life. |

It's just a poem ... written to what I imagine, were the feelings of a man who wrote a poem, on a battlefield in 1915. It was a poem of despair and when it was finished, he thought its existance, an expression in futility, so pitched it into the mud. A wounded soldier retrieved it and sent it to various publications, where Britain's Punch thought it worthy and it went on to become a worldwide sensation. 'In Flanders Fields' was posted here on the one day that it means the most and since it was not posted by its late author, John McCrae, its thread was locked. Rules are rules and the moderator did their job justly, but I couldn't help but think of the irony involved in that decision. Thankyou for reading ~ |
