War Memorial

a thousand ways
to disappear—
the architecture of death
a rift in the earth,
wings cutting across the sky

A short poem that says so much, Sergio. On first read I can't see anything I'd change.

Live one day at a time -it's simpler that way.
Laugh loud & often - it's medicinal.
Write from the heart - it's therapeutic.
Beauty comes from within - the outer is just skin!

A few deftly chosen words that say so much, Sergio.
I like 'a thousand ways to disappear', but it's all good. 'The architecture of death' makes me shiver a little...wow...

Cheers, Syl***

The Lord replied, my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.


"There is no life higher than the grasstops
Or the hearts of sheep, and the wind
Pours by like destiny, bending
Everything in one direction."

Sylvia Plath, Crossing the Water, Wuthering Heights.

Hi Sergio, wave.gif

What if you were to change the order of the lines for a different intro? I was thinking of this:

War Memorial

the architecture of death

a thousand ways
to disappear—

a rift in the earth,
wings cutting across the sky . . .

Short and poignant!!!

Cleo I like your suggestion:

War Memorial

the architecture of death

a thousand ways
to disappear—

a rift in the earth,
wings cutting across the sky

Let me mull over your suggestion.
