Expander 05: War Poem by Kim Barney
Expander 05: War
War.
Ugly.
Terrible.
Unforgiving.
Unnecessary.
Started by a madman
with the face of a weasel
and the brain of a butterfly.
May peace return shortly to the earth,
madman entombed in the land of his birth.
We seem to be stuck with him. My worry is who will take over from him. Another madman?
The world is full of madmen for sure. Thank you for commenting, David.
Thank you for your beautiful and engaging Poetry, Kim.
Revisiting this wonderful poem crafted in a unique and captivating poetic form. A brilliant description of those who inititiate wars aggressively. This poem must be.posted in all public places as a reminder to all.
3) Your poem is most relevant, when we have Christmas at our doorstep once again. This season calls for peace, but we have more madmen around!
2) And an enticing form of poetry, the expander! I loved it.
Kim, this is a beautiful thought. Let peace be! But madmen "happen" on earth every now and then.
