Verses From the Remnants of Broken Chains, a Short Series

Verses From The Remnants Of Broken Chains There, vigilant bronze feeds the steeds of war Within long silent shadows, there you are Lost child, sired from Prometheus unbound Promise of a golden harvest not found. R.J. Lindley , Nov. 12th 1981 quatrain Wisdom From The Remnants Of Broken Chains Attitudes and platitudes- hold that thought Sad child, in your wicked lies you are caught Crimson tinges sets the flower apart Far too late after the last ship departs. R.J. Lindley , Nov. 15th 1981 quatrain Justice From The Remnants Of Broken Chains You smiled licking your frosty callous thumb Felt injustice, when struck both deaf and dumb Laughed out loud as you rode your horse to death Cursing that gift under your angry breath. R.J. Lindley , Nov. 19th 1981 quatrain

My dear friend, beautiful verses! The depth and breadth of your expressive artistry and incredible imagery never fails to leave me in awe. Your potent “pen of gold” flowed as freely then (1981) as it does now, Robert. Your superb poetry is such an enjoyment. Warmest wishes and blessings.. ~Susan
