2014 April PAD Challenge: Day 8

Not much of a preamble. Tried something new here, three words to every sentence. I am not sure if this is an actual poetic form but if it isn’t, well I may have invented something new :D. By the way this is my favourite till now.

Day 8 prompt: Write a violent and / or peaceful poem

Strife torn lands

Blood soaked sands

Smoky, acrid air

Bombs dropped here

An orphaned child

Scared, unkempt, wild

Soldiers lie bleeding

Vultures come feeding

Bereaved families wail

‘Tis war’s tale

Clear, blue skies

Underneath, beauty lies

Laughing voices sound

Happiness spreads around

Sweethearts making love

Birds chirping above

Mothers with children

Unscarred men, women

Flowers blooming bright

‘Tis peace alright
