About This Poem

The Duet

In the midst of chaos oh so pure,
I'm focused and in the bubble.
The target is a little obscure,
but this does not cause me any trouble.
For I hear a beautiful melody,
a duet of death being sung.
A staccato of short burst of three,
a hail of bullets being flung.
To my left I hear the sound of the PIG,
to my right the M-249 Saw.
Together they host a little shindig,
which leaves their audience in awe.
So as this concerto reaches it's end,
the cadenza is a beautiful blend.

    I love when music is mixed with war themes... it reminds me of those dramatic moments in TV like in The Last Samurai. It seems halfway morbid to portray death and chaos as beautiful... bu then again I've never been involved in combat so I wouldn't know. You seem to a knack for these sonnets though, that's for sure. Keep on writing!
