1976 Poem by DAVID GERARDINO

1976

Rating: 5.0


The sunshine and rain.
The hills and plains.
The moon and stars.
The wisdom of it all.
The shadow of sin.
The doubts and fears.
The jesters and kings
spiting in the wind.

Impact felt.a jumble of images brought together and tied with a bow. Well done.

Intriguing.... Lots of fleeting images, in many ways similar to 'God Bless America', but conveying a different sentiment. Like it.
