Premium Member In Duty's Name - A Linking Pin Sonnet for Memorial Day
Duty calls from valleys deep and wide, Wide like hearts where brave resolve does bide. Bide the storms, through fire and endless rain, Rain of trials met with a calm refrain. Refrain from fear when darkness clouds the sky, Sky holds hope where eagles dare to fly. Fly with honor carved in steel and soul, Soul forged firm in sacrifice and role. Role...

Premium Member Remember Their Light
The air grows still, a nation's breath held deep, A Memorial Day promise, sacred to keep. For fallen soldiers, heroes of the past, Whose shadows linger, memories that last. In solemn hush, we bow our heads in thought, Of battles waged, and freedoms dearly fought. They gave their all, on fields of sweat and pain, A sacrifice...

The Rows Remember
They do not march now, but they still stand-- shoulder to shoulder in quiet granite lines. Each flag breathes like a memory fluttering in the hush between heartbeats. They are not just names, not just dates-- they are echoes of last letters, mud-heavy boots, songs sung beneath a foreign sky. We walk between them, heads bowed, and feel the weight of freedom we never had to earn. This silence is not...

Honor Thy Fathers and Thy Mothers
From the sweat flowing down the laborer’s brow, the cuts and callouses etched into their hands, to the steely determination engrained on their furrowed faces, freedom was born and fed. As such they should be given the same respect and admiration, as any beloved parent is due. ...

Premium Member My Father's Dream
My Father's Dream A wide and vast horizon beckons me to enter there where oceans echo ancestral voices and gulls paint images in the air. The Saxons and Angles, Hansas and Norse of Hamburg, Oslo, Kiel and Gdansk flows through my blood where the sea is my home. Father, do you miss never having lived your dream of sailing around...

Honorable Death
Deus Volt I scream by my brother's side, a distinct bell rings measuring 39mm wide, high stepping over the deconstructed rubble, klashnikov volley is what's giving us trouble, our advancement through the city begins to slow, primary and secondary left with one mag to go, (clink) armor so tight it impedes the breathing, (clank) honor steps in like a sword unsheathing, (clink) clinking...
