Premium Member Place By the Sea
I once had a special place by the sea; My favorite place for God and me. The only sounds I heard were the roarings of the sea and the still small voice of God. The sea gulls flocked by the sea cliffs. And the big cargo ships from far eastern Shores slowly flowing under the Golden Gate Bridge was always a sight...

Jan and Josef
Edvard's exile could not deter the course as it flowed or blood that drove through his body life had to change when the soldiers came bringing tanks and arms of oppression machines of war rolled and crushed Europe was hushed marching on the 15th raising flags and ideals London resigned to opening doors a haven of sorts for a few families and friends were left to defend breaking cogs to dismantle...

The World War II Museum
At the World War II Museum, There were crowds in every hall And so much to see and read You couldn’t quite absorb it all. Yet the visitors, so varied, Were attentive and polite, Everybody so intrigued with Every battle plan and fight. There were artifacts and movies, Interviews with those who fought, Which enhanced the schoolbook knowledge That each one of us was taught. Hours...

Premium Member Echoes Of The Silent Shore
One cold November, in the not-too-distant soon  the echoes of these shores will ever silent be as fewer come each year to where their pals were strewn; on Omaha, among the rest of war’s debris. Fewer again will hear cannons roar, a rifle’s snap, a bullet’s thwack, the screams of pain, the corpsman call. And yet they come, the few, in...

Without a Shadow of a Doubt
A poem inspired by “Involuntary Spies” by Marion Strobel: Without a Shadow of a Doubt Soldiers, Spies, Brute Strength, Intelligence Without a shadow of doubt, there is a difference The latter exists in a position of negligence Yet they stand strong and courageous Without a shadow of a doubt, their loyalty is contagious Ready to die for their country for a cause...

Premium Member My Wandering Eye
Each brush stroke sparks a fire Burning endless miles As one man sits in silence Looking back through his life Deep within his mind a memory set in time Resurfacing through his life A masterpiece Lost in time Taken from a dream rekindling a yearning need He ponders a joyous time To relive through each night As the morning arrives with...

Whispers Between the Circles
In the dim-lit dusk of a shattered world, where shadows gather but souls do not meet, I wandered—a hollow echo of Virgil’s path— between the ruins of ambition and ash. “This is the way the world begins,” whispered the dust-voiced guide beside me, “Not with a bang, but with endless scrolls and tongues too tired to speak.” I. The Circle of Silent Spectators Here,...

Tears of innocence
The war stains my eyes, Of unheard screams. So loud that I think, My eardrums will bleed. I'm centered on ground. The dirt beneath my feet, The crumbling society. And the guns taking my seat. My wife is dearly missed, Dead or Alive. If I see her again, They say "I won't thrive". A man is a man, And a gun is a gun, Be one, which one? Does it...

Premium Member Etched in Stone
Our village has a standing stone and on it etched are many names Of village men, both young and old, who gave their lives amid the flames The flames of war to end all wars A delusional hope for sure For as we know it still goes on To kill and slaughter many more So when we lay the poppies red. Honour...

Rafah's Dolls
Pick out only one doll, the one you love the most of all, and another one for your younger sister who weighs less than to know how to choose, My mother used to say when I was a child. I chose and ran away, but I returned. When I grew up, my mother still used to say the...
