Carolyn Devonshire Poet Diminished Hexaverse

Gibraltar Crumbling

Earth trembles in fear
Once-mighty nations
Beset by strong threats
See America,
Defender supreme

Devastated,
Alarmed to see
Their Gibraltar
Wounded, crumbling

USA,
Fighting blades
Of our foes

Treaties
Destroyed

War

Paul Callus January 7, 2020 at 12:49 PM I like your creative take on this theme, Carolyn. While many are intent on creating peace, others are planning on creating war! Will we ever learn!! Hugs // paul Carolyn Devonshire January 7, 2020 at 12:58 PM It's hard to sleep knowing that we could be attacked at any moment. I've never feared war more than I do now. Thanks for reading.

Vijay Pandit January 7, 2020 at 10:59 AM So timely is your theme my friend--a potent message in your poem Carolyn--I wonder too about the state of the world in general--but war would be an added wound. Excellent--sure to win. Carolyn Devonshire January 7, 2020 at 1:19 PM Thanks for reading, Vijay.
