Blue with all malice, like a madman’s flash
“Arms and the Boy,” Wilfred Owen
When I dwell on what
This wretched body
Politic has yet to offer,
I see myself bearing
Baskets of arms wrenched
From boys that have been
Appropriated solely
To appease it.
Great, great poem. And let me congratulate you on your beautiful new layout, along with the “pages” addition. Darn it! — I’d better go out and pump up my bicycle tires!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the poem, the layout and the "pages" addition; I especially added the biking page with the bike routes so you could ride your bike from Oregon straight to "The Milk and Honey House!"
