Transubstantiation

eyes on the runners
boom……………
sweat to blood
on the sidelines
Patriots Day

Wow! Great title. A lot said in a very few words. This one drenches the reader. Love, daver

Kathryn, this is a very sad image. Not expect, for such a day... thank you for liking my Grandpa poem... I did argue with my fiance. After he reassured me on how that poem fits the bad poems, going on in the blogs. thank you very much... Linda

'...sweat to blood on the sidelines,' '...BOOM,' stark images of what transpired in Boston on that fateful Patriots Day. An incredibly powerful piece. Well done Kathy!! Love, Keith
