A Simple Tribute

A Simple Tribute

Gedesoned sentences cover my floor
They are the forgotten
The fallen
The heroes of war
Β 
They are the frozen leaves
The decaying disease
Β 
They are often overlooked...
Β 
Frozen In time
Forged like steel in rhymeΒ 
Where embers once burned
They are soot
Β 
Battalions of syllables
Forgotten miracles
Β Β 
How they crunch underfoot...
Β 
Now reanimatedΒ 
In future timeΒ 
They are the monsterΒ 
Of Dr. FrankensteinΒ 
Β 
Stitched up at the seams
From part memory
Part dream
Β 
A simple tributeΒ 
To what might have been....Β 

(A tribute to the leftover rhymes and stanzas from my notebook)

Don't beat yourself up too much Lisa. I see how many comments you leave on others work on this site and it inspires me to do the same. Unfortunately I have little spare time. My family and especially my new job take up most of my spare time.

Take careΒ  - Syd xoΒ

I cracked on the central air-conditioning on Juneteenth 2025...

when martyrdom got chucked aside for cold comfort.
