A vision of the war in Iraq.

Images

You flame now for one week,
and the west wind will carry
pen and pencil on a journey.

waxen images fall gravely
before your eyes.

mist spreads out in a long
measured rectangle.

you dream of Brancusi's elegant
forms--wing, spere, head.

a strong breeze carries messages
to the west from the burning
desert..

images rise and fall amid
fears of war.

Images of war should not exist. They only bring shame that lasts for generations. It takes a second to bomb a city, it takes a century or more to face the consequences.

Your thought-provoking lines triggered this kind of reflection in my mind.

I like this kind of verse, it's the type you can study for hours on end and keep coming up with different meanings... well done...thoughts to ponder... wishing you well.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
