Matthew Anish Poet Free verse

Challenge

Bright orb
     above
  Brave men and women
       below
   Who must fight for 
      what they want
   And its beyond mere survival
When sunlight changes to 
      moonlight
   the challenge is laid out 
        before them 
   A blood - soaked 
       victory 
may be the solution 
     to their sorrows 
Let them prepare themselves in the
                   outer chambers 
So they can rejoice inside 
A celestial building 
      of large proportions

Poet Destroyer A September 25, 2010 at 1:48 PM there is frequently a magnificent in this time period and challenge, Matt. the enthusiasm in your poem overcomes all manner of ignorance and sloppy solutions, doubt and even fear to bring success to any challenge. Any thing to pick ourself off the floor and rejoice to the thought of forever with out our stupidity. Enjoyed your poem with smiles Matthew,....p.d.

Diane Locksley September 24, 2010 at 5:45 AM A great poem that honors the sacrifices made by the men and women who serve our country. Thanks for your comments on "Special Harvest," Matthew. I have worked with special children and they are so precious and loving. Best to you, Diane

Ravindra K Kapoor September 23, 2010 at 8:58 PM I think the poem is a tribute to those who sacrifice themselves for the cause of their nation. If it is so, it contains a beauty of its own. And thanks for your appreciation of my Poem on Rangoli. Love and best wishes always...Ravindra..Matthew Anish.

Carolyn Devonshire September 22, 2010 at 3:15 PM Perhaps I didn't see the humor the others mentioned, but rather people in the military who fight for a cause and lose their lives. Indeed, heaven would be a celestial buiding of large proportions to hold the souls of all who sacrificed their lives in combat. Quite a stunning free verse, Matthew! Love, Carolyn
