Sunrise/Sunset Poem by David Blair
Sunrise/Sunset
It was a
beautiful sunrise.
Even in the
muddy trench
he enjoyed it.
The Somme...July 1916.
The sunset was
just as splendid
but he didn't
see it even tho
his eyes were still open.
Ah the futility of war especially the 1914 -18 Says a great deal with a sparsity of words Well penned BB : O)
The pathos in the poem couldn't go deeper with more words. The poem hits point blank.10 for this inspiring work.
