When Its Petals Draw Near

    A missile’s disguise is a flower
    magnetic, a whiff of its power
           
      Yet when its petals draw near
      a new odor appears
          ~ Zero-hour

Hi Gershon, sadly war seems to be ever present on earth. You write so poignantly. Someday wars will finally cease. Sunday morning shalom to you, good friend.
