Guns of hope

Blazing guns have a way with the weight of words, when you're caught in between green fields of summer and thorns, Much of the soul follows the whispering wind, Winter warns the wishing well, Do not, let these petals melt, in a black brick bowl of watery spells, should there be an ounce of hope for a forgotten seed, pray the bones in these arms hold on to all it needs, so bullets can bleed peace.

I got images of Uma Therman in Kill Bill. “Bang Bang” Add a dash of “Poison Ivy” for good measure. Congratulations on your placement in the contest.

Lol papi you must be in a mood! When you wrote this! As always such powerful metaphors even in your nonet and flows well. The bullets and guns were a bit too loud and strong for my fragile psyche and kundalini hence why this gets a second place but surely i love everything else about this as i can tell you poured your heart out like a river that flows seamlessly! Congratulations on your well deserved win! Dont shoot me !

Bullets can never bleed peace, since their use in conflict is the polar opposite. Only a change in the human heart can bring real peace. Awesome nonet
