Notes About The Poem

Microsoft Bing: DALL-E 2

*Napoleon Bonaparte

---

 

Jolted by Twilight

caught napping 
resting on our past laurels 
never served anyone well 

in twilight of existence 
Earth is retaliating 
and jolted into action 
which we might very well now regret awakening 

I’ve no tears left for mankind 
never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake*

Maria Williams Date: 11/9/2024 2:21:00 AM Beautifully said Su, I agree that Mother earth is retaliating and will protect as any mother would do. Thankfully the world is waking up and trustfully it's not too late. Hugs Maria Login to Reply Suzette Richards Date: 11/9/2024 2:35:00 AM Thank you, Maria:)
