    June 6th

    Was soldiers' dying vain answered by god or mother?Gods and generals, and the mass made of but common clay.None can speak when seas rolled red with bloodAll the air whizzed and hummed,Shot and shell, bursting,Bodies broken, riddled, ripped and...

    • The sacrifice palpable, the suffering unimaginable. It’s significant that people see war as this thing that just “happens”, not considering all the coordination, planning and propaganda that goes into it. They don’t accidently happen….never mind that it makes NO sense that humanity would be MORE warlike with the progression of time, but it certainly appears as if there is more war now than ever before in known history….and that’s a LOTTA planning & coordination! And propaganda (to “prop the agenda”)

      Great tribute for D Day, EZ Joe. Good to see you again. I appreciate their sacrifice.

    • I agree 100%. “…it makes NO sense that humanity would be MORE warlike with the progression of time, but it certainly appears as if there is more war now than ever before in known history….and that’s a LOTTA planning & coordination! And propaganda (to “prop the agenda”

      Good to hear from you again.

    • “Death is death.”
      “Peace is strangled at birth.”

      The whole piece moved me. War is gruesome and no one wins. We must remember all of those who served, fought and lost their lives in the pursuit of peace. Funny how fighting is the way to find peace.
      Those two lines just stuck with me. Very good peace.

      • Heroic things are done in every war. Men rise up to give beyond the common measure of courage. But war never brings lasting peace. There has been no war to end all war. There’s just a continual slough through hell. Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts. 🌼

    Transmundane

    TransmundaneI laugh, and dance throughout the atmosphereA spirit borne by light and wind and cloudI sing a song that men shall never hearPerforming for the universe, uncowed!  No form is fit to house the transmundaneMy essence is pure joy...

    Under Irish Sky

    Under Irish SkyTo lie in barley under Irish skyAs Herb Moon shone upon your naked formMy heart was captured by your Irish eyesIn peace before our passion’s gatherin’ stormThat night, my love, we quietly embracedAnd cultivated tenderness o’ touchA...

    • Good poem for a warm & stormy early-June evening….damn I’d love a shot of Irish whisky now! But I shouldn’t. For normies, it’s best not to dwell on the what-coulda-beens, but lost love is a timeless and never-tired staple for poetry & poets!

      Only when A.I. completely takes over will it ever be otherwise.

    So It Seems

    So It SeemsUpon this Summer Solstice Eve’s hot night You danced for me in dreamscape’s June moonlight A sight exotic like I’ve never seen I rue that it was only just a dream! My mind’s eye winks with devilish...

    Losing The Light

    Cracks in the armor start to appearHow long before they figure it out?Surely someone will sense the fearThat lingers behind this self-doubt Falling fast into this desperate abyssWhen was the last time it was silent?The punchline was a swing and...
