Let Your Creativity Flow

People tend forget the families that have to carry on too, it is very heavy indeed. All those MIA from Nam!?! What a shit deal...

I agree, I can't imagine all the questions, and the overwhelming need to do something when there is nothing you can do.

it's -10 out there, and this little ditty came to mind, as I was driving, and appreciating the heated leather seats, or "automatic butt warmers" as I call them. Was composed in 5 minutes, so bear with it's rough nature:

Wind blows, snow scatters
Breath puffs,Fingers numb, frost grows,
Care not....Butt is warm

This is my first attempt at poetry. :oops:

WE TRAIN TO FIGHT
WE DO THIS WITH HONOR
MILES FROM HOME
IN DISTANT LANDS
WE DO OUR TIME
WE MOURN THE FALLEN
THE GUNS FALL SILENT

WE RETURN HOME HEADS HELD HIGH
SOME RETURN STILL FIGHTING THE WAR

EACH YEAR THE NATION REMBERS
THEN GO ON WITH THEIR LIVES
WITH OUT THINKING TWICE
THE SACRIFICES MADE

FOR THEIR FREEDOM
WERE STILL FIGHTING THE WAR
FOR US THE WAR NEVER ENDS

Here is one I wrote after a major cancer surgery:

I WONDER ...

I wonder if my lover
Ever sees me quite the same;
Does she wonder if I'll be there
When she stops and calls my name?

Do her hands feel a difference
As they wander all about,
Silent hunters for the changes
That the cancer brings about?

I wonder if she wonders of
The wonders of the world,
Or has my being sickly, changed
Her views? Changed the girl?

Does she lie awake in silence,
Listening to every breath?
Trying to hold the minutes?
Pondering my death?

I wonder if I asked her what
She wonders of these days,
If she'd tell me of the things she thinks -

And if the wonder stayed.

I wonder ...

A more relevant poem to us;

God and the Soldier
All men adore;
In times of trouble
Then, no more.

For when trouble is over
And all things righted,
God is neglected
And the Soldier slighted.

Anthony,

There's some great stuff in this thread. Maybe it'd be worth while to post it in a place labeled Poetry From The Sand, Mud And Blood, or something to that effect. I think it should be accessable and easy to find, particularly for those new to the site.

Just a thought.

To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to, who wouldn’t do
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much, as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces...
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God and his mercy
Or if he really does exist
Why did he desert me, in my hour of need
I truly am indeed alone again, naturally
