David Kavanagh Poet Verse

Change

March cometh upon Ukraine 
Missiles blacken snowmelt plains
Morning birdsong tweets distain
Metamorphosis, cocoons from pain

Jan Allison March 14, 2022 at 4:06 PM what a topical poem David, Many congrats on your win:-) hugs Jan xx David Kavanagh March 14, 2022 at 6:34 PM Heya Jan, unfortunately Ukraine seems to have replaced covid in the existential world, I was thinking more about marching armies perhaps than actual March itself, cheers David

Valsa George March 12, 2022 at 6:19 PM The month of March has been cruel on the Ukrainians ! Instead of happy spring, they are welcomed by tankers and missiles and in the place of bird song what they hear is echos of chaos! Spot on, David David Kavanagh March 13, 2022 at 7:37 AM Thank you Valsa, unless this invasion of Ukraine is stopped by Putin soon, it will continue to descend into a hell for the foreseeable future, hard to see it stopping anytime soon, cheers David

Leo Larry Amadore March 6, 2022 at 2:10 PM Enjoyed this. Put me in mind of Ezra Pound, of course. David Kavanagh March 6, 2022 at 3:28 PM Thank you Leo, high praise to be mentioned in the same breath as Ezra, delighted you stopped by, cheers David

Jenna Logan March 6, 2022 at 4:56 AM Your take on March certainly fits the crisis on our minds. Innocent lives taken by a madman. David Kavanagh March 6, 2022 at 5:02 AM It’s the despicable wanton act of a maniac Jenna, I’m sickened by the daily images coming from Ukraine, a senseless pointless nihilistic war on the innocents, cheers David
