Dare We Forget? Poem by Fay Slimm
Dare We Forget?
I catch somehow
The view of inside tears.
In eyes that peer behind
That furrowed brow.
Behind the smile
Bravely shown for camera
Lens, there the pretence ends
As, all the while
Endless red dust
Surrounds the sound of home
Falling, wall by broken wall.
But smile she must.
Homeless now, with
Age-old grit she sits, aware
Her world has stopped.
Another bomb
In error, dropped.
Extraordinary. You have painted a memorable poem picture. This one has my applause. As always, Sandra
This made my hair stand on end. Similar in purpose to my TeignmouthNews but much better expressed. Thanks. Don

Fay lots of feeling here Fay, I read it slow and the hurt came through. To many bombs dropped in error, no feeling there. Bob
