Caren Krutsinger Poet Cinqku

Peace Dove

Peace dove
Bay of Pigs
Childhood nightmare
President Kennedy
Peace dove

Peace dove
Viet Nam
Terror of Youth
Made 1960’s sad
Peace dove

Peace dove
The Gulf War
My daughter’s turn
In charge of deployment
Peace Dove

Lyric Man August 24, 2018 at 4:13 AM I can’t image the tension of those horrific days!! Caren Krutsinger August 24, 2018 at 7:00 AM I lived them, and they can never be explained. It would be like trying to tell someone how it feels to slide down a slide, Lyric Man.

Gershon Wolf August 23, 2018 at 10:29 PM Peace Dove sure looks frail when up against the War Hawk. Caren Krutsinger August 24, 2018 at 7:00 AM Doesn't it though? And how desperately sad is that for our children, as the ones in power smirk and the poor are sent.
