Calm

These things are the longings of calm peaceful words exchanged between governments quiet meditations that spring from human thought still waters that are not stagnant yet reflect us honestly serene cities like mountainside villages tranquil evenings crowned with golden sunsets. These are the things that satisfy...calm. 5/11/2021

Janis I hate to break it to you but there is no peaceful exchange between governments rememebr in world war 2 when the america and the soviet union were friends but then afterwards america was like NOOO WE HATE COMMUNISMA ND WANT CAPITALISM TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD and soviets werre like noo we gonna hide missles in cuba and americalike Oh no we gonna blow up. I am sorry Janis but this is not a peaceful exchange so ur poem is not realistic. I like your writing though, 7/10 . -hazel
