Among the Poems of the Week (December 18, 2005) on Poets Agaist the War


POEMS OF THE WEEK
A showcase of best poems

“Nobody Hero” and “Fighting for Jesus” (Volga, South Dakota, USA, 12/11/2005)


Nobody Hero

Iraq
rookie bonus
medical care payment---
lifetime VA visits . . . no legs
attached.


Fighting for Jesus

Judas
lives as a king
in the white house.
Oil greed payments
crucifying the truth
with war.



Actually "Fighting for Jesus" has evolved into a longer poem as many of my Cinquain-T often do. It is now a part of audio production piece called "Faith from the Beginning" parts of which are on Brigid the Blog Muse

War is not the Answer
Ride a Bicycle
 
The Grass&Gravel Times is all about how mindful bicycle riding on grass and gravel creates a poetic vision. We will keep track of new developments at the, Northern Great Plains Poetry Message Deconstruction Zone where the words, spatial presentation, phraseology and margins are tested and presented in the context of cycling-mind-space explorations of the Dakota Denizens.
