Notes About The Poem

Night walk in Prague, Czech republic, Europe

The Soldier's Girl

Like the note she let fall
her heart is torn
With the downpour she weeps
while far away
on streets where hell rained down
Night is reborn
blood on slick stones now washed
from where he lay!

Beautiful, tragic and inspirational write. Thanks for asking for my advice about a line from this beauty. Truly a 7 and a fav for me.

This is beautiful, Andrea. Just this morning I was trying to write about Arlington National Cemetery, but I couldn't find an original angle. You did!

Oh, woman!! Or....should I say, Marilyn Monroe! You lucky woman you! That's some interpretation of the pics. I tried so hard for this contest, but I'm afraid I had to throw in the towel...It just wouldn't flow. This is a really job you did here. Getting that ally in was the hard part for me. ;) Thank you for all the visits today. You gave me joy. Hugs...

Thus a picture is inspiration for a fine poem. Lots of sad drama here. Love, daver

Sad and tragic. Even though the evidence has been washed away, your creative words are here to stay. #7 // paul

Strong, deep and a sad reflection of reality . War had so many left dead , lost, alone , saddened and in misery. Blood sacrifice always a darkness that hits more than just its victim! This poem packs a few tons in its brevity. A great feat methinks. A7 my friend.
