From Swords to Plowshares


A field of crop
once was a battlefield (red)
now feeds a remnant -

They that survived
the young that gave up their lives
so that this plot of land

Might remain in this nation
to fly its flag
and export its blood-bought grain.

Please tell me what you think

    Very poignant. Excellent imagery as well. I also like that you have said so much with so few words.

      Thank you dear Elf. To me the goal and challenge of shorter poetry is to explore in as few words as possible the largeness of concepts and themes. You are much appreciated.
