  • Slow March


    And we make that slow dead March

    in broken ranks
    laid down

    slow painful time
    bare ground

    cold granite skies
    wind blown

    dead light casts
    gray sound

    our hollow voices
    bell toll

    to waters edge
    not felt

    we rest on life's
    far shore.

  • You're very talented.  :Applause:

  • At first I was struck still - like the essence of the poem itself.  Then it dawned on me what IT was about it that reached me in a different kind of way than some of your others - this one sounds like something Bilbo Baggins would have written! 

    And I LOVE that!! 

  • I like the rythem of this piece, the kind of sticato 3/2 pace to it.  it makes it kind of awkward and I find that fitting for a zombie march.  the last line kind of jars and confuses me; is the about a Naval officer like the "Flying Dutchman?"
