An End To War Poem by Ted Sheridan

An End To War

Rating: 5.0


The trumpet lilies are silent with sadness
As the many weeping widows
With their folded flags
Leave red roses
On the rooftops of a new home
And the children
Their hankies wet with promises
Wave goodbye to daddy….
With open hands instead of clinched fists___

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

A packed and punching piece Ted. As Danny said, if only. Hankies wet with promises - that's brilliant. t x
