Wars Poems - Poems about Wars

The world is bleeding
In Ankara and Moscow, the ground is crimson red ~ a carpet spread on fields once green. Life’s fluid, like red gold, flows as scarlet runoffs into Ottoman rivers – lifestreams of Rossiyane and Turks spilled from their inner oceans. Their bones ~ lifeless as strings of dead fish, litter seas once full of life. The tears of fatherless children fill the Black Sea, their futures...

The peace they display is the fruit of a hundred years of inner wars
They walk among us, wrapped in a quiet that intrigues, in a silence that soothes. We think they’ve always been this way, born under a merciful star, spared from opposing winds. But this peace, you have to listen to it closely: it vibrates like metal hammered a thousand times, it echoes with the memory of...

Mars Has No Wars
It's not red, like they said. It's white, green, pink, blue And all other fascinating hues. Not the grays I am used to. I was told there is no air here, Yet every breath is crisp and sheer No masks, no tubes, no weight to bear. Most importantly, nothing to fear. I didn't need a suit or a flight, Just a smile...

Premium Member In the depths of time, where the echoes of wars fade silently
In the depths of time, where the echoes of wars fade silently, Every conflict is born not as a clash but as a desperate defense, We are immersed in a sea of silences, where the obvious becomes duty, Freedom means the right to tell the world what it refuses to hear, In times of deceit, truth becomes an act...

Sky Wars
A morning sky blares a raucous anthem. Bluejays, Magpies and crows have gathered to defeat the songbirds. I look East for any signs of massed auks. The air is dancing, but it's a crazy dance, a stamping clamor akin to frontline fever. A battle is coming, the shock troops are rattling spears in the hedgerows, fieldmice are digging new trenches under old roots. Look! The...

Premium Member Instant Connection Star Wars Tribute Rondel
With a ‘May the Force be with you.’ we have an instant connection. Bespin’s a welcome distraction, right through the asteroids they flew. We’re members of the Falcon’s crew, each essential to it’s function. With a ‘May the Force be with you.’ we have an instant connection. Multiplex, drive-in, the whole slew. Say it fierce, there’s no objection. Other films? No competition. You...

The Tariff Wars
There are no bombs, nor guns ablaze No killing fields or bloody sands Yet world is driven into craze From “sweet old home” to distant lands Mosaic shattered on the wall To shreds is ripped old gobelin Oh why, but why we started brawl The one we cannot ever win? I want to think there was a cause A noble path to richer life Yet...

Premium Member IN THE SPRING OF CONFUSION: A TANKA DUO
Tree-branched bird staring, Looking me right in the eyes; We both confused: Humsn and natural nature, Inhibiting springing peace:- Wars' twofold nature: Destructive storms and bombings; Both dooming in spring:- God's spring cleaning is coming; Let us get to sowing peace:-...
