Mark Koplin Poet Couplet

The Tears of War

The roses are gone, the violets are dead, our skies have turned grey from blue.
These streets where we live are turning blood red, and destruction is all that is new.

Our homes and schools are being destroyed, evil kicks down every door.
Horror and fear have now followed suit, results of a needless war.

Sorrow and pain are left in death’s wake, always just one step behind.
Our future turns bleak and then fades away, when tears are all, you can find.

I dream of a day when love, is abound and our children can play and have fun. 
Imagine a world where peace can be found, and war is known to none.

Jenna Logan June 7, 2022 at 11:06 AM Mark, this is excellently written, and your rhyming is spot on! The only thing I'd change is the need to write about the cruel realities of the world we live in today. Great couplets! Mark Koplin June 8, 2022 at 9:44 AM Thanks Jenna, I appreciate that!

L Milton Hankins June 7, 2022 at 8:45 AM Aw, Mark, this is such a sad situation, and you have chronicled it so well. I grieve for the children who will grow up with these images, and many will never know true happiness because of terrible anxiety. Well done, my friend. Mark Koplin June 8, 2022 at 9:45 AM Thanks Milt!

Tom Cunningham June 7, 2022 at 7:48 AM I share your dream Mark that one day our world will know peace, where people of different colours and religions will live together side by side treating each other with respect. Tom Mark Koplin June 8, 2022 at 9:45 AM That would be something!
