Rating: 5.0


(N.B. This is two short poems that combine to from a third. The format is called a trigee. I don't know the origin.)

Dear Mrs Williams


I regret to inform you of.......The Minister's statement about
The death of your son............His involvement in the Afghan war is
A terrible tragedy...............Made worse
Knowing it was...................Due to
Unnecessary.....................Aggravation from others
Our thoughts are with you.......In these difficult times
