History Repeating

Get up you must go!

gather not your things!
just go!

a screaming thought
bound my mind

OH NO!!!!

As I scrambled to wrap my body warm
the enemy about to swarm

to run upon land
that grieved my rule

flapping flags
so tattered and burnt

blistered heart
not the feet

give me a light
to press defeat

mud raised toward my face
a running maiden
no care of broken lace

No heart was there
an empty death seem so true


then along
my troops came through

As holding hard to heart
with armor held high

I called
"fight the them!"

for they, shall always lay

Swing me a sword
let them not take my ground

never let them trample the starved

for as I breath for you all

do or die

my name you shall monger


Carved

Yes darkhorse
My grand dad was such a survivor, through many things, He was born in Lucan Ireland, travelled on the massive sailing ships, but back in Ireland family went through famines and terrible things. Yet a Gentleman my Paddy was.

Hi Steve1223
To be sure to be sure.
Thank you for checking my write out.

He carved tiny wooden ships and had them in bottles, probably his whiskey ones.

Hi, Sophiasummer,
...give me a light to press defeat... The love of those that come before shines to light one's way into the future in History Repeating with its call "fight the them!"

Your poetic style in the way you can mold languange
to do your bidding is remarkable. Rarely can I guess
the true meaning of your poems dear, but mabey that's
not a bad thing. Just reading the way you string words
together is a treat.teddybear

Hi Cafe,
Thank you

You also mold the most amazing stories that I love to read,never feel out of the loop, with some poems I sometimes don't understand myself, It shall be only the poet, to know, that is the meaning, its a strange road for a poet.

I wouldn't do it, dunno mumbling
Of course I do!

Keep writing dear friendyay

Soph
