A Poppy's Shadow

A Poppy's Shadow

A Poem by Panhead Rod
"

A poem reflecting the need to honor those who have served...

"
...
Cast away...
Thrust by a beam of intense light...
Only touching the surface...
Silhouetted...
Singly Dimensional...
Prospective is lost...
Forlorn...
Lamenting...
The flatness of a shadow...
...
Look again... 
Look deeper...
put more light on the subject,
from many viewpoints...
Highlight features...
Give substance...
It matters...
Positive energy...
Opening new doors...
...

This poem was inspired by a D.V.A. poppy I have hanging on my rear view mirror casting a shadow, while I looked at the meaning of the poppy to those who served our nation...

"Semper Fi."

Depending on the times - you learn early on to be a "good" chamelion . So many utter "Thanks for..." but its just mouthed - not thought ...and we KNOW it.
