For thirteen moons I holler in angst relentlessly Under coal stars, these hands pray over August's ceasefire; Till a young man's dull frame quakes on bloodied tracks... O my son laying with ghosts of heroes, my night of stone. ~*~ 3/25/2019 ~ Edited Writing Challenge 5, March 2019, Four Lines - Contest Sponsor: Dear Heart

This excellent poem tugs at our heartstrings, Nette! A son who died too young...a victim of war...a mother, inconsolable. Congratulations on yet again a merited win. Hugs // paul
