Silence after the cannonade

'Virgin mound' - a powerful image in a thought provoking piece
Poignant and beautiful.
Excellent. Ticks the boxes for me.
"Silence after the cannonade"
I can't even imagine the number of cemeteries Europe has after WWI & II. My father-in-law has visited France a number of times to visit his big brothers grave...
Oh, that says it all.
nicely done!

This is just to tip you wink that your Magpie 90 Link no. 46 isn't working properly...♥
No need for thanks, m'dear - but you could have emailed me direct at pennysmith5@btinternet, rather than leave a comment on one of my posts which won't mean a thing to anybody else! LOL ♥ I might just remove it, now I've read it...
So poignant and beautiful...wonderful piece
Last post rings out.
What simplicity is all about, so solidly there!! Lovely.
Wow. Just amazing.
A nice intense feeling of history in a very few words. Well done. My Magpie this week is A Plot Both Great and Grand.
Terribly sad.
I like how you have set up the rhythm here, with a break that marks "Silence" out from the other words.
Short and powerful. Makes me think I should write a Veterans Day poem. (That's what we call it.)
Wonderfully written!
Lovely words and perfect image.
very informative.
:)
Ah, brilliant!
