William Kelii Kekaula Poet Ode

Notes About The Poem

The Mystery Be

The Mystery Be

Mistral freedom o'er stakes waged before,
destined mortal souls their reposed earth,
spent sepulchers clips tales from postwar,
nonetheless, facts become one back door,
proves everywhere their tribute got worth,
bestill main doors naught their mailboxes,
the rumors naught onshore, farther berth,
winds from war, peace checks, paradoxes.

Sam Kauffman October 16, 2020 at 3:48 PM As always, William, your poem is chock full of bright, visual images. "Mistral freedom" got me at the first line. So glad to find it on the winners list. Congratulations my friend! Aloha! William Kelii Kekaula October 16, 2020 at 4:55 PM Thanks, Sam, as yours was unerring overall, capturing the essence of the theme magnificently, "Misty clues on cobweb ridden eyes...", cannot be said any better my friend, Aloha!
