Easter Eggs and Tulips
Easter Eggs and Tulips Grandaddy was a quiet soul, born in 88 on a spring day. He often stopped to graze his sheep, on the lush green grass shoots in May found at my grandmother’s old house, where she played with dollys and jacks. Knowledgable gardener by trade, he grew crops and purple lilacs catching a beautiful maid’s eye,...

Premium Member After Their War
After Their War David J Walker There was only desire and comfort/convenience Laced with certain frames of entertainment in between the crap games played with life Everything OD green was repainted except the screen with the Signal filled cable Nothing was on except a thousand reruns From the dawn of television And another thousand Audie Murphey movies Mother may I borrow...

Premium Member For the Fallen In Flanders Field
Famished and flagging footsoldiers; facing fatigue, fitful fever, faeces and foul, foetid fungi. Fostering feelings, frustrated, for this faraway, foreign field. Forays so fraught with fine failure; forfeiting furtive and fiendish, fatally fettered from the first. Forged by such fatuous fawners, for folly to feud for a field. Forced forwards with fleetness of foot; firearms flash and fragments fly far, feigning the firmament aflame. Forces fight so ferociously, fratricide...

Premium Member For the Fallen In Flanders Field - Original
Famished and flagging footsoldiers; formerly fitters and farmers. Facing fatigue, fitful fever, faeces and foul, foetid fungi. Fostering feelings, frustrated, for this faraway, foreign field.

Fighting so fierce and ferocious, fratricide set free on this field. Fuelled by freedom, nay, falsehood; for their fellows and friends, foremost. Forays so...

heroes? there are none here, now ... ever ... don’t feign to look, for your eyes will beg their smiles, true … these are my brothers, these weary fools entrenched, muddy, beside me - there is no one else ...

Dusk Covers Wwi Trench
As dusk their line visibly bows Cropped heads beneath mounds fold Glum shadows through addle fields row Listless turrets sprout o'er demarcated woe Sallowed eyes in bleary sockets rolled As dusk their line visibly bows Shocked ears to concussive barrage close As sighs from clogged lungs are paroled Raspy shadows through addle fields row Smoldering smoke in singed heavens glows Vaporous cloud o'er scout binoculars...

Wwi Trench
Treading lightly through snaking, muddy trench Squeaking boots with slippery grooves synch A mass of matted flesh bares its rotten stench Thirsting maggots, doting flies cannot quench No rustic accoutrements adorn, not even a bench Deep longing for warm touches of caring mother, practiced wench But only cold, rancid rain does shriveled limbs drench In crowded hovel, selfishly hoarding space, miserly grinch On...
