A Morning For Mourning

‘Tis a morning for mourning. Do you hear the banshee’s wail? She shrieks of death’s warning. Another being will be impaled. Wooden stake goes through the heart. Death severs consanguinities. Yea, from here it is time to part. Such is everyone’s destinies.

Well done, Robert. I wonder if you have ever read any of Sassoon's works. He wrote about WWI and his experiences in the trenches as a soldier for the British Army. If you have read him, or do read him, I would like to know what you think. Some of your work, as this piece, is reminiscent of his. So dark and fatalistic. Love, Deb
