Howl Down the Screaming Wind

HOWL DOWN THE SCREAMING WIND


          Howl down the screaming wind 
          Stem the gushing flow of innocent blood 
          Rescue lost souls from the whirlpool's trap
          Floundering lost amidst thunderous waves
          Dashed and broken upon jagged rocks.

         War mongers cries surge out of control
         Silencing the prayers for peace
         Lies are told to quell the panic 
         And the inmates run the asylum   
         Giving madness birth to destruction.

                                          Colin Ian Jeffery

Colin,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
