Lest we forget? But – have we forgotten? The cost, the maiming of war? Lest we forget?
Greta Zwaan
Witness Ukraine Yellow and blue Flag waving, defiantly Raised over city, field, and town Blazes glory to Ukraine Butchers Degenerates Leaving horror in their wake Imprints on city, field, and town Innocents dead silent War Crimes Atrocities Unfettered, unleashed, rain down In houses, on schools in the streets, Witnessed, worldwide, online. Ukraine Heart broken, stoic Endless sifting through rubble In cities, fields, forests, and towns Looking for life, sees death Banner Yellow and blue Defiantly waving, in Shells of cities, fields, burned out towns One day will rise— from ash. Slava Ukraine!
April is National Poetry Month, and I’ve joined a poetry challenge, which is to write a poem a day for thirty days using a different poetry form each day. Today’s prompt is a Pensee poem – five lines with a specific format. If you would like to follow along this is where the poem prompt originates: Stephanie Says So.
