Poems
May 2018
garnets and emeralds
garnets and emeralds
the pretty girl
puts on some blusher
from her compact case
on it is an image
just like her
a pre-raphaelite print
this girl scans the sky
her eyes always above
she watches the planes
go out and come back
for she counts them all
one by one
is her guy up there?
or is he missing?
she remembers him
and cares for his comrades
the girl who counts the planes
for she loves all the crew
not just pilots
as much as she loves her land
the girl who counts planes
how many failed to return?
there's a ring on her finger...
