White Bluebonnet Blessing

Poem inspired by a conversation with the artist Al Manybears
During the 1914 Christmas Truce the Austrian Hymn Stille Nacht was sung by German speaking troops and joined in by the English speaking troops with the Silent Night words, creating an ascending chorus.

WAR POEMS
Every poem
is an anti war poem
Although
people of prose
have often bent the light
to lead the young to their deaths
