War Cry
War Cry
A vicious tussle broke between two foes
the quiet faction firmly stood its ground
verbose wing dug in heels while braving blows
Both land and sea were numbed with booming sound
The battlefield a mangled, spectral form
as angels wept, aghast at ravaging
dispute; slain morphemes dazed, could not perform
Just lay unnerved, shell-shocked and whimpering
Then God took reins and urged the twain to call
a truce; with His grace last trace of dark strife
was buried; malice shed for once and all
Peace soon prevailed to usher in new life
Refulgent thoughts and words now on same page
with souls well merged, sublime verse came of age
footnote
Words and thoughts need to be in perfect harmony for poetry to see the light of day.
