Their cloak, a tattered blue or grey astride the shattered lawn. Born tender lads who quietly prayed and now from earth are gone. Heavy fell her heart, discharged a leaden ball Thundering her ears, the sears of darkened day to fall The powder flashed eternal through her silken mind And passed along lapels of gray as destiny defined They fought against a brethren foe encroaching trenches dug and never would again most know a tender warming hug. Heavy fell her heart, along the scorched dry field Thundering eternally, a cause that could not yield In charred born blackened dreams of war resigned To take a man her life revolved this liberty to find A war of words that grew from spite which each believed was true. Too many sons would cry in flight and spill their bloods anew. Heavy fell her tears to soak the earth so dry Wandering the stagnant air along a gray night sky It seems that dreams the frail to frayed, bowed lastly in disclose The arguments bought with the blood a sedentary rose |

I believe I know who wrote what, as a gentle twine of voices left the sedentary rose... beautiful! |

Wow. That was enchanting. I can't find anything wrong with this poem, even I wanted to critique it. It's masterfully written. Yv-Goddess of Her Domain. Symbol of Truth Passion Pain. Let Her Smile Rain on the Hearts of the Innocent. |

If not for your enduring spirit and keen eye for detail, I could not write to such reality Barry. Make no mistake...the pleasure is certainly mine. Thank you all for your kind responses. TD |
