Best Wars Poems

Winter is a deadly companion to those of us
who stay behind. Spring is not guaranteed, only
a lonesome song, frozen on the lips of my
fellow crusaders.

The tip of the spear belongs to the "Ice Warrior"

Camouflaged under a dusting of snow, ink black
like the night or mind...

The thick numerous shoots of grass have come out,
no more snow shovels til late autumn comes about.
I hear the robins chirp as they tend their nests,
wait....the sound of a cranky lawn mower chugging
to life from its winter's rest!
Quickly, dear, go out and mow before everyone...

IN HONOR OF THE MAN WHO STARTED IT ALL
My Friend John 

The Day (of the Quote Wars)

The Day was gray with wisps of smoke, like fog upon the ground
The carnage lied in heaps piled high, void of any sound
A single figure stood that day, solemn...

Dream on man
War is constant
It has gone beyond
Catholic or Protestant

Religious wars
From our short lived past
Will never dilute
As long as we last

In this modern world
We fight for different reasons
What ever the excuse
And in any season

We fight over land
Imaginary WMD
Even over soccer
How the hell can that be

We...

I followed milky and mouldy scents,
down cobbled and narrow paths,
only to see it riddled with rats,
feasting on Feta and Camembert,
whilst the wine sipping Uppers prepared to
clash against the cider swigging downers!

The Fromage Frenzy and Curd Craze deli.
across from the Dizzy Duck and the Boastful Bard...

All around the Earth,
this world of so much worth,
people are fighting everywhere,
no one thinks that things are fair.

No matter where you go,
way up high or down below,
people talk the rage of war,
but do they know what they're fighting for?

If someone wants the right to live,
freedom...

The war is ever-nearer to the boarders of this land
Seeping forward through the woods
Releasing acrid echoes of doom ahead on energetic tongues of stowaways
Lucky to survive their ordeal
Here they are welcomed, and in this cozy tavern
Their woes are hidden in the shadows while they warm...

When on Remembrance Day
There is no one at the parade
The war is lost
Dead heroes’ died in vain

This shall be a countries shame


Note: Written for Remembrance Day Nov 11...

I write Star Wars limericks with aplomb.
'Cuz Star Wars is simply the bomb!
But they don't appear
On this nice website here,
They're at Starwarslimericks dot blogspot dot com!

No special effects there, I'm sorry.
A few pictures but nothing too gory.
I start at the beginning
And I keep on spinning
Retelling...

There was a woman who lived on Jakku, 

who lived in a robot and ate stew,

she met some droids,

and fought people on steroids,

and flew a frater too....

as the dawn light fast approaches, 
as emotions they run high, 
Are we paying lip service to the fallen, 
do we ask ourselves why?

Why did young boys pay the price?
Why oh why did they roll those dice?
Those from wretched circumstances came,
Why did those young boys...

Within the pillow case universe, on the sacred night of Halloween,
There was a disturbance in the natural force of the candy zone,
And this is what began the legendary saga, of the goodie treats
Positive sweetness vs. the sour darkness bitter stomach upset!
But both sides conflicting, still...

I lived in Shenzhen, China, for my 6th and 7th grades - China was AMAZING.

In China, blond hair is unusual, I stood out like neon and touching blond hair was considered good luck.

In a train station, if I stood still, I could draw a curious...

Beyond ego's orbit, we set our sights, 
On an expedition where compassion ignites. 
Away from selfish dreams, we'll choose to see, 
The world's shared sorrows, our true destiny.

In this cosmic voyage, we'll leave behind, 
The narrow confines of a selfish mind. 
To remember the pain,...

Quote: "There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.” – Mahatma Gandhi

In wars, innocent lives are the cost,
Their homes, their dreams, forever lost.

Starvation strikes, food laid to waste,
Leaving many hungry in its haste.

In...
