The Picture On The Wall Poem by Benjamin Hallas

On the wall

In my
father's den

There is
a picture
of a relative

Who was in
the Great War

Wearing a
brimmed hat
on his head

And a
military uniform

With buttons
down the middle

And at
the pockets

His body
up to
his mid section
in a circle

And the circle
in a square

A somber face
probably thinking about
the impending danger
he is about
to face

Wondering
what will
happen to him

And if he
will make it
out alive

To see
his friends
and family
once again
