Poem Artwork





The silenced bells bellowed
From hamlet to village green
Cricket (willow on leather)
Would soon, again be seen

Bells roared ‘Rejoice
Rejoice’ from town to
City, ‘Ole Blighty is free
From German tyranny’

The skies were silent
The guns were spent
The streets were dancing
The bulldog had barked

One nation rejoices
Another repents

‘Germany calling
Germany cooling
Germany fooling
Germany falling’

A firm reminder that not unlike Germany, history is littered with similar stories of power and the lust for same that ultimately brings down its followers. Well penned.

Looks like a Spitfire, those planes and the pilots that flew them saved England from total annihilation...Germany lost many, while the Royal air force lost few...good write, Andy, good to see you writing...-e-

A triumph over tyranny. It must've been something to experience the quiet of peace after six long years of frightening skies with enemies overhead day and night.

It's interesting to note that Germany came back quickly after the war and became an economic powerhouse again, thanks to the Marshall plan. I'm not saying that war is an antidote for economic recession. What I'm saying is that perhaps United States would be better off with a Marshall Plan here today.

All gave some, some gave all.
War is still hell, no matter who wins or falls.

Yes indeed, England went through pure hell before there were "Silent Skies."
