This Bud’s For You

The Spring flowers
starting their bloom
Nature’s powers
pushing back gloom
Life perseveres
despite our fears;
without our doubt

I am happy to say my ha’sonnet “Getting Across” is featured on the FREE VERSE REVOLUTION site today, 25 March 2020. It was written for the FREE VERSE REVOLUTION March Theme “Bridges.”

An Abrupt End

Suddenly gone
with no good-bye
Darker the dawn
in which we cry
Choices not made
Futures betrayed
Life’s care unfair

Living Besieged

They scaled the wall
then charged the guard
who didn’t fall
but fought them hard
The sweep was swept
The keep was kept
Again. Till when
