Excellent This is a poem about the tragedy of war. White Roses by Regina Elliott Free Form Poetry Contest contest entry Artwork by avmurray at FanArtReview.com

Warning: The author has noted that this contains the highest level of violence. Our nation's collective songs of sorrow midst the ebony shades of grief. White roses of hope and purity, gifted from God for our mournful conscience.   We pray for a peace that eludes in roiling turbulence of skies fiery, split open raining missiles in the hatred of humanity, of youth fallen before their dreams are lived out, of infants born without their fathers. White roses softly glowing in sunlight, as we kiss the widows' cheeks. ~
