is sending more battalions
to the desert dunes....

Dandelions
Dandelions are Mother Nature’s gold medallions,
Hated by master landscapers as obnoxious weeds
Marching across manicured lawns like battalions,
A whiff of wind releases thousands of their seeds.

The Tide
We pulled it off
Dusted cleats, victory flag
Brandished on history's ceiling
Raising the tide of moral triumph
Gathered from warming hours of dawn
Hope for health and success
New homes and affluent spirit
Finding our way
Among thorns and battalions
Lions prevail with timeless ascent
New comers to corridors and luminous halls
Ready to grab rightful piece of the action...

Grandma Shar Pei
Inhaling and exhaling life
one Marlboro red at a time
those devil sticks
sucking the liquid from her face
wrinkles that could put a
Shar pei to shame
despite battalions of carcinogens
she lived till ninety five
a life garnished with laughter- love- respect
family gatherings
abuse-neglect
the book ends of
sickness and loneliness
night capped with
a pale blue regret....

The Reign of Death
Black battalions
Loom large
And march across the darkening hills
Sweeping away the light.
It is then they unleash
Their strafing salvoes
Flattening the standing stalks
With their drenching drops.
Once they have exhausted
Their arsenal
They smoothly scatter to reveal
The healing light.
The shedding warmth
Dries out the air
Leaving the corpses of crops
Clearly embedded in the dust....

The Fog of War
The Fog of War
Our foes wait in their well-defended lair,
Imagining that they’ll stay safe and warm.
Our siege cannons thunder; smoke mists the air.
While thinking of barricades each must storm,
All my soldiers ready their arms to bear.
Bugles sound: Battalions! Companies! Form!
Once over the walls, we’ll know what’s in store.
It’s hard to see through misty fogs of war.
Mark Halliday/Warrior Poet
Through the mist contest
