In the Full Moon’s Afterglow
My world’s worn-out words flow
From the torn sunflower meadows
To the silent streets of Moscow
Written on the hills of Dnipro in blue-line lingo
Beyond the reach of the full moon’s afterglow
And painted in lyrical tempo with hypnotic gusto
Am I to be another muted scarecrow
Mutilated by the war-lords errant crossbows

Such a powerful, poignant, important poem, Ivor! The emotions and images in your poem touch the heart.
Coop and I took a walk to look at, and commune, with the moon…it is so big, round, and orange tonight…it’s light lit our path brightly.
