Two beauties were not quite flappers
But Parisians, so almost that open
Servicemen approached them cautiously
Pulled up two chairs, flirted a bit.
They humored them before sending them packing.

Light Verse
To the servicemen
who paid with their life
to ensure our freedom again
and to live without strife.
Your sacrifice I commemorate
in my humble way
and your memory I celebrate
on this Veteran’s Day.

The
esteemed
servicemen
honored today,
on this November 11, 2020,
gave their lives for our sake --
We honor them by vowing
we shall never forget duty
to God, country, and compatriots.

We saw a side of Trump that too few people know
For six hours, grieving parents he consoled
of those killed leaving Afghan(istan)
Trump restored their hope once again
~ that America cares about her servicemen

Solitary seafarer sings sea chanties,
salty sea breeze serenity,
sea birds skim waves,
suddenly, so many sailors' souls
of the sunken WW II ship USS Indianapolis
started singing sonorous,
soaring from sea sepulcher,
stirring sacrifice so sacred,
such sorrow,
souls still scintillating, still seaward,
servicemen shipmates solemnized,
seared, sealed in spiritual solidarity,
salute. ~

Alliteration
Words evade the inspiration of my muse
My heart is too heavy, watching this atrocity
Many people report that it will only get worse
Servicemen killed with many people injured
Photos of bloodied bodies at Kabul Airport
This never should have happened, ever!
America on the run, from a departure, no plan
They would still like to tell us everything will be fine!
I remember weeks ago when Biden insisted…
The Taliban would never take over the country!
