The Chill of War
The war goes on.....10 total reviews
Comment from Sally Law
This was chilling, my friend. We are heavily involved in the war, financially, and supplying weapons to (and training) the Ukraine how to use the weapons. Don't be thinking Russia doesn't know this. The Bible says that Russia is a player in the end times attack on Israel. Read Ezekiel 38 and 39 of the Gog/ Magog War. I hope to write about this soon.
Unfortunately we have sent so much money to Ukraine, we don't have enough money to help those in North Carolina and California. We are broke. FEMA has dropped the ball big time, and if it wasn't for Christian organizations, Red Cross, and great communities and neighbors, it would be far worse.
I'm ready for Biden and Harris to hit the door and keep going.
Sending you my best today as always and my best for the contest.

Great response, Sal. Please write about the Gog war.
Comment from royowen
Apparently one of our citizens here in Australia volunteered to go and fight on the Ukrainian side as a volunteer soldier, but was captured by the Russians and allegedly executed, so there is big diplomatic problem about the whole, which will probably come to nought anyway, I thought of this with your poem, well done, good luck, blessings Roy

He may or may not have been executed. They often lie so the effort to get him back is waylaid.
That war has got to end before it drifts into the rest of Europe.

That's true
Comment from Faith Williams
You managed to pack quite a bit into your short poem, Douglas. Its truth is haunting. I can't believe the war has gone on this long.
One suggestion to consider:
winters grasp--winter's grasp
Best wishes in the contest.

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Lune Poetry Contest entry.
I feel the freezing cold in my boes. Great presentation and imagery. Good syllables count. It would have better flow if you link the first and second line.
Suggestion Something like this....
Ukrainian snow
Wraps the land--
chilling death poses
Good luck!

Hoping The Donald has a few trucks up his sleeve to shut it down before it engulfs Europe.

I wonder if one the biggest things is to get the US out of the mix. It's not our problem.

Thanks. I was afraid it might have been confusing that I was talking g about the forgotten bodies now covered by snow.

Thankyou,a pleasure to read.

Thank you for sharing this vital reminder of the chilling and critical situation that still remains in Ukraine. We must not lose focus with change of leadership in the world. Your well-crafted 5-3-5 lune, fulfilling the prompt, captures the urgency with impact. Well done, Doug, and good luck! Debbie

Did it make sense? That I was talking about snow covered bodies?
Comment from Cecilia A Heiskary
Douglas,
This is a great poem, if not sad. It has an eery undertone to it. One has to wonder who the boots on the ground are? The US is always got there nose into something. I say take care of our own first. You may not agree, but thats how I see it.

Gonna have to be Europe. France wants to send soldiers in to counter the North Koreans but it looks like the US has stymied that. Put ins aggression doesn't stop in Ukraine. He has made no secret that the Balkans are next. He also has an eye on Norway. That is why Sweden has broke its centuries old neutrality and is on a war footing supplying Ukraine. Much like Hitler, we have to decide how many countries he is 'allowed' to annex before he is hammered.
-
Somebody just need to kill that whole regime. I can't understand hate like that.
-
Agreed. I meant Switzerland not Sweden had aided Ukraine (3.7 billion). Sad that best case scenario is the murder of Putin
-
It is but he will never stop unless Trump can come up with something to stop him.
-
Strong leadership is certainly needed. My hope is that someone in that country over there has the guts to put him down. I mean, how many of their sons will they let him kill?
Comment from Tom Horonzy
Stupid Putin, and all the men like him. Why does Russia (the USSR) or whatever it's called need to augment their substantial land mass. Somebody irritated him back when, and so he thought I show them.

He needs to be taken out by his own people. How many dead sons will they tolerate?
Comment from Begin Again
Even your notes sent a chill through my bones.... three years and a million dead... and Putin sitting in his posh home just demanding more and more. I can't imagine the agony of soldiers who must fight and face the impossible winter weather.
Hugs, Carol

It's ugly as are all wars. All 1 million of the dead had mothers. Hope Russia ends Putin on their own.
