Bugle resounds call for another fateful charge
Bands of soldiers toward the fortified ridge barge
Enfilading fire from cannons fiery portents discharge
Infantry ranks decimated from center to marge
Wave after wave crest up the rocky redoubt
O'er boulders, mounds their heels dutifully plow
Nourishing with their blood a field so fallow
Trite fodder on a temporal battle strand; sacrificial lambs noble
cause to hallow
Ruddy lads searing in the scorching sun; faces sunk, complexion's
sallow
Surrendering all future hope; boyish dreams in dying hearts so
callow
Precious resources drained from a reservoir so shallow
Southern heroes ressurected and romanticized on nouveau tableau

Blustery sky I have read your blotted scroll
Your balmy reams with angry portents roll
A bleary tempest o'er your tranquil plains doth roil
Blackened tenants perch on your billowy shoal
With shutters as dark as night as black as coal
Shading your gilded beams; with menacing shadows troll
From foaming mouths their brackish discharges dole
Stirring your seething pot; bleaching your blithe soul
O'er burnished strand their angry tides stroll
Spewing drops of misery; their boisterous nature to extoll
In thunderous chorus they sound their deafening drumroll
They sear your azure canvas and scorch every silky atoll
Stoke breezes with haunting whispers droll
Oh, blustery sky enfilading torrents seep through every porous hole

Winter's chill lingers still
Frigid ground remains barren till
Longing for sun's beams to spill
Break then blanch the icy seal
Fuel, burgeoning life to distill
Thawing channels for flora to fill
Defrosted mounds for birds to drill
Opening porous seams for cisterns to lap and swill
Dew droplets and enfilading streams to rill
Warm cloak to fondle every blade; caress every accompanying frill
Incubate flowering dale and shroud towering hill
Ingratiating every fertile strand; energizing every fodder mill
Illuminate every vapid recess; accentuate every scenic still
Enlighten every fertile heart that under it's footstool doth kneel
