Battle At the Hottest

all stars that bright doth beam doth not always a-right accord that moderate terminal destiny; routes there be craft-fill'd & thorny but shaft-fill'd with the happy soft ending clownish & whimsical as ‘tis doomful; o moderation oft maketh abortive a warfare’s line of battle at the hottest angle that would take its foe’s roots.

I like reading your thoughts on the significance of moderation, Canny. I'm glad I've never had to fight in a war for I can't bear to see violence. Thought-provoking poem. Thanks for your comments, Carolyn
