Tom Wright Poet Couplet

Reveille

Reveille
FT. Leonardwood Mo. 1962
Miracle Man
October 25, 2023

At three-thirty we arose, to trumphet chatter,
It was hard to determine It’s subject matter.

None of this, to us, was making any sense,
now sleep is gone and so is the suspense. 

 We’ve trouble dealing with situation at hand,
Army life isn’t close to what we had planned.

As “Cruits” search for solutions we endure pain,
and do our best at hiding our disdain.

God bless you and yours, too! Tom Wright October 25, 2023 at 2:27 PM Kim, Just finished reading your poem Uniform. What a great write. I sometimes think back to those times and wonder if I'd be smart enough to grasp any part of today's technology. Again, enjoyed your poem and God Bless you and yours.
