Jade Posted July 27, 2004 Report Posted July 27, 2004 The woven pattern of my crocheted blanket Falls over my thighs and under my tears As the 900thman dies in Iraq Each loop planned by a crafted hand
reverie Posted July 27, 2004 Report Posted July 27, 2004 nice tribute poem... a simple metaphore reminding one of the divine or not-so divine providence guiding man's hand and action... good illumination at the end, though could use some minor editing... Is also interesting to note that the 900 you speak of only applys to military... if you were to say, count the U.S. and other country's various civilian and not-so-civilain like contractors the number would grow far larger... A tragic and terrible thing put it is good that you honor their memories... rev...
