Best D Day Poems

We met in Valletta city on a fine November day
Introductions...hugs and kisses; we got talking straight away.
All agreed to go sight-seeing – architecture , harbour view
Made a stop to buy an ice-cream where there is a constant queue .
We strolled on and at Cordina’s chose al fresco to sit down
Next to regal Queen Victoria, a...

A place where peace should reign, yet terror grows.
A paradise where blood and children lie.
A beach where young boys played and now men die,
with liquid crimson waves that evil sows.
The cliffs now bow and weep and look below,
where from their shoulders cast a deadly tide.
A peaceful nighttime vista now belied
by daylight's bloody battle of the...

Some came by air
Some came by sea
They fought and died
So we could be free

The 6th of June 1944
Normandy a place in France 
Operation Overlord or Neptune
Thousands took their last stance 

Parachutists and gliders and
boats of all size
Thousands of soldiers met their demise 
156,115 allied soldiers took part this way
75 years ago on D DAY

The beaches...

As the sounds of war loudly  roar
	The thoughts of Freedom began to soar
For on that day of infamy 
	It changed the course of history 	
They didn’t ask to be attacked
	But patriotism became a well know fact
With Peril Harbor still fresh on their minds
	Young and old stood in long enlistment lines
So off to war these...

D-Day June 6, 1944

And in the coming carnage there arose
prayers of humbled heroes - frightened pose
beseeching all the gods that turned blind eye
for death is death even when heroes die.
So did they, on this day, assault the beach
procure for us a goal they’d never reach.
Peace blows over memories white washed stone
to honor those who fought...

If only I could bring back
those willful days
When the sun shined
bright all my ways,
When the nights were
a fair field to sow many a dream
And the days dawned
to reap them at whim,
My life spread its wings
for miles unseen
And flowers bloomed
all the way umpteen.

But now I dread the break of day,
Aimless upon the bed I just lay,
I...

D-Day raised the curtain on the conflict 
That fore shadowed the end of Hitler's dream.
The largest joint combat landing ever, 
Though the blood from both sides flowed like a stream.

When their boats hit the sand, their ramps went down, 
And all within paid a visit to hell.
They jumped out to do good for their country,...

Why deceptive retrieve
in a wheelchair
for the fallen ?

Was it not a sheer
wrong message
of a space anxiety ?

The aboriginal name
was dead in a traffic. What
a choice to breathe its

last in a city of buried
monuments ? Vision of inner
city affiliates,

taking questions for
the first time. You
become only a body after the death.

A white rose waits
for a blue sea....

INSIDE D DAY
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS


The weather is really lousy rained all day
I’m so nervous and edgy, I’m learning to pray
We are prepped and ready to complete our tasks
Now’s the moment, the hour, for the invasion of France 
My buddy tall and skinny, we call him Guana
From some little town near Birmingham, Alabama

He talks funny with...

Seventy Three years ago today,
The war in Europe turned our way.
Through the waves, they came in waves
Through the waves, young strong Braves.
Across the beaches, under some withering fire,
They were unstoppable, their mission was dire.
Taking back from the enemy, the land,
Taken by soldiers of the Fatherland.
Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword,
The beaches where the Allies, of...

Tornado drills, like a fire drill
people practicing what to do in certain emergencies
The weather man predicts this
the newscrew the first response
to lead as many people possible to safety
a selfless act leaving you a hero to your child
in a society where we suffer racism
you never know what stereotype you would end up with
and together you would...

Lost in France,
Resting 'neath a simple cross,
Just name,nationality and rank;
Giving of life,was his loss.

At home,
A breaking,aching heart;
A sweetheart's pain;
Her emptiness was another's gain.

In memory fading go
As echoing years slip by,
And still her tears flow;
Vivid yet her anguish sigh.

Forgotten,forfeit and for what?
freedom frailties,fragile,
Such ideas still beguile;
T'was ever thus,a peasant soldier's lot....

T’was d day before Easter
And all through the woods
The bunnies were busy
packing their goods.
The eggs were all colored
so pretty and bright
all things were “GO”
for the big special night

The baskets were waiting all decorated
With care in hopes
That the bunny soon would be there
My little brother theophilus 
Was asleep in his bed 
While visions of Easter eggs...
