Story Poems by New Members

A dream cast a long shadow
Against the old man's eyes

Young again
Running, laughing
Splashing by the brook
With a beautiful girl

The world at their fingertips
Bowed down before them

King and Queen
Of a time they thought
Would not end

Before the war

Invasion unannounced
Unplanned for
Then came guns, bombs
Screaming sirens

Buildings falling like
Wooden toy blocks

Calls for help
Go unanswered

Smoke rises
Swirls up into that
Heavenly loam ...
