Change

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

Valsa George Date: 3/12/2022 6:19:00 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 Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 3/13/2022 7:37:00 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 Date: 3/6/2022 2:10:00 PM Enjoyed this. Put me in mind of Ezra Pound, of course. Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 3/6/2022 3:28:00 PM Thank you Leo, high praise to be mentioned in the same breath as Ezra, delighted you stopped by, cheers David

Jenna Logan Date: 3/6/2022 4:56:00 AM Your take on March certainly fits the crisis on our minds. Innocent lives taken by a madman. Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 3/6/2022 5:02:00 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
