War a Senryu

Tis the truth I tell ya here....

War Senryu

 

Nothing good ever really

Came from hate and war

Except for poetry and peace

 

Author's Note

Dont ya just love em eh' these little wotsits..... or are they maybe a bit like Marmite... maybe.. N

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

And that's the truth of the truth.
Yin and Yang seems to be imperfect,
Yet, Yin won't have exist without its Yang pair.
Hatred when dead would leave behind love,
War, when buried would give peace to everyone,
The magnitude of each obnoxious event,
Determines the magnitude of its opposite pleasure.

Well written, Neville.

[Neville]

Thank you kindly Kay and true...

You are right my friend. Many great poets were loss to war and they left words for us to understand. War is s**t and home is sweet. You don't miss home till you are stepping in blood and s**t. Outstanding use of words Neville. Made me ponder and write some words.

Second time round this read about War leaves me believing my long love-hate relationship with Marmite is more than best reason for writing a poem on Peace - - - well maybe - - - or is it that I just love these little wotsits.............x

[Neville]

I am a huge Marmite fan Fay ... mind you, I am a huge Bovril fan too ... and despite wearing a few extra pounds these last few months, I think I wear them rather well ... salt is my only vice these days my friend ... Really dont like any kind of violence .. bless ya for popping back n truly :)

I never wore my mask in the supermarket. My god, it was hate and war.
Grannies were going ballistic, you would have thought I caused the pandemic. They wouldn't listen to my new poem either, hate those people.

[Neville]

People can be very touchy but I can understand their touchyness .. if you had a mask.. why did you not wear it may I mask ... Maybe ya need to practice reading it at the cinema or somewhere less crowded ...

[Fay Slimm]

Yes the war- poets led the field and still do in avid description of its greatest horrors - you pen the coupling with peace and the brevity adds to the telling - - an insightful read my friend.

[Neville]

thank you dear Fay.....
