The Triolet - War Incarnate.
Forged, I've out-lasted; standing before the Aftermath.
Glistening red, bloodied turban cloth flutters; caught wind.
Innocent outnumber guilty; only the innocent screamed.
Forged, I've outlasted; standing before the Aftermath.
I fought for a cause long lost; buried the corpses teemed.
I've burned it too, charred remains - the depth undreamed

This is one of my favorite forms of poetry, mostly because I think the refrains have the effect of driving thoughts home in a most poetical way.
first couple of lines make for a remarkable image, I got the feeling of an ancient battle, sabre and sweat, there's no remorse visible, which would indicate the thoughts of a warrior, I like the inclusion of turban cloth because it gives an authentic feel.
very enjoyable read, Tacete, good stuff man

An honour. Thank you for stopping by Eamon. I've always enjoyed more restrictive forms of poetry rather than free verse, I take to the challenge.
