Michael Degenhardt Poet Quatrain

Shroud of Brethren Blood

A ribbon of peace made of red, white and blue
Had fallen to earth on a breeze
With hopes that someone would take and hold true
The values so needed for peace

Alive in the colors, representation of man
The struggles in life so endured
All sewn together in one tight fine weave
Offering to all, peace assured

Carrie Richards August 26, 2008 at 9:06 AM You were so in tune with my poem, "The Wren"....I got called away during the writing, and posted it as it was. Like you...I too, didn't really feel that I wrapped it up quite right....I will have to work with it. Thanks for the observation!!...Carrie (PS. You have been very helpful with all my poetry..Thanks again!)
