Afzal Nusker Poet Free verse

Martyred Peace

A flying milky dove was shot dead; drops of blood fell on soil and poppies bloomed.

Note : For the Contest (Sad One Line) by Silent One.
          *Placed First*
Inspired by the recent tragic incidents and current political affairs of the world. It's gruesome to see what is happening all around in the name of power.

Freddie Robinson Jr. January 10, 2017 at 10:43 PM I agree w/the other talented poets/poetesses, such a poignant poem, Afzal. Very profound imagery against war and violence. An unnerving yet realistic portrayal of the cause and effect of conflict unresolved. Love this poem though. Love and peace to you, friend. Afzal Nusker January 11, 2017 at 2:38 AM Thank you so very much, Freddie.
