Best Home Front Poems

Come and gone like small twister
like the cloud of debris he’s left.
Echoes of Charlie Brown’s buddy Pigpen

desire of a great life, sought
skill of voice, articulate
hardly ever, cheek

no longer free, famous...

L'Overture


Lest we forget
Words often mouthed
For the dead of bloody war
Forgot not those great ones
Whose battles were on the home front
Seeking only equality of voice

A brilliant man of forward thought
Who gifted the world...

We continue...
