Ukraine

Under a pensive, winter sun
              beneath a bare boned canopy of trees
            the black ravens pick at scattered leaves
           and I cry inside…because you had to leave
            to fight for our freedom…in a war torn land
       I pray we can walk this path once again, in peace.

Laura, your imagery of bare trees, a pensive winter sun, and black ravens set the tone for this poignant write of a heartbreaking and unnecessary tragedy. I join you in your prayer for peace for Ukraine and the world. Hugs ~ John

Every word of your poem has captured the distress behind the cruelty of war.

Tears, I feel, so very heartfelt verse. Now the Vultures feed on the dead.

So Putin needs to recruit mercenaries because Russian might is not enough to subdue Ukrainians! Imagine what would have happened if Ukrainians had more than bottles to deter the Russians! Aloha!
