Victor Buhagiar Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

Miss Nightingale - Potd

In the flickering light of the lamp,
Despite the chilly night, air so damp,
She surveyed books so avidly read,
Studied the guidelines now in her head.
Time came: she departed for the war,
Sure she'd care for all those wounded sore.
Many followed as she left her stamp,
At night she'd be the lady with the lamp.

Joe Maverick September 26, 2023 at 4:39 PM A great person, amidst terrible war effects Victor..And where was that war.? And against Who.. ? And what do we hear today.? The same Country occupies Crimea..And the same Countries contest, that situation.' Does this Seem like a big fixed replay.? Well after those Who are dead, could shed more light on why It happens (then and now?)
