Camy Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Peace at last by Camy No more rank and vile hubbub, or whining argumentative bores. No more bickering or strife under a loamy earthen floor. They lie wrapped in quietude, those who went before. The graveyard holds their corpses, whilst their spirits eternally soar. --- First published in 'Silence' - a poetry anthology at The Authors Haunt Quote Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 I can't decide if it's an elegy or a lament. In any case, it's very good. C Quote Link to comment
Bruin Fisher Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 This is sad and beautiful. Although it doesn't mention war, it reminds me of the First World War poets, such as Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon. Excellent strong work. Quote Link to comment
