Far East Home

A burning cloud
falls to the waiting
ground, smoke and ash
flowing like a tattered
cape through the sky
behind this giant.

It crashes
into the town
below, a wave
of heat
bellows outward,
lead by a pale horse.

As it passes, fire
and brimstone
envelop me,
stopping every breath
deep in my lungs,
no relief
lent for any price.

This is my hell,
a new paradise
in the Land
of the Morning Calm.

    I'm seeing Korea (North) and nuclear bombs, but actually it is a mystery to me. But it certainly got my attention--very well written.

    Interesting and intriguing piece of poetry... it made me think of a cross between Roswell, N.M. and the Book of Revealation... deftly done write...

    wow

    The fire can consume anything, and things can burn down fast to. Very nice flow of words. Gets the readers attention. Very much a pleasure to read.
