Shirley Hudson Poet Free verse

My Angel In the Blanket Shop

The feel of a blanket sends chills,
Thru my body as if,
I am walking over their grave.
I heard the sound,
From the background.
It grabbed my soul and,
It stopped me cold.
In that split second,
It sends fear throughout your body.
That sound, I remember it,
It brings nothing but evil and death.
I saw them before she did,
Bodies, Blood, gunfire.
The lady in the blanket shop in Korea,
She saw my face and,
Within a flash, we were in a secret safe room.
She saved our lives that day.
My hero was a lady in the blanket shop,
In Seoul, Korea.
On that day 20,000 students,
Revolted and killed hundreds.

Elizabeth Moroz July 18, 2023 at 2:03 PM Hi Shirley, Thankyou for following me. I love the pure emotional expression and intricate imagery you create with your poetry, the political and humanitarian statements that you make are profound. So far you are my only follower. Sigh. Thankyou for your support and for the depth of your beautiful poetry. With much love and gratitude and appreciation, Elizabeth Moroz Shirley Hudson July 19, 2023 at 7:12 AM Elixabeth Thank you for your kind comments. It means so much to me that you can always look within the heart of anyone and see the humanity and as Anne Frank said, "Everyone is essentially good at heart," paraphrasing. thank you.
