To the shores of Tripoli

To the shores of Tripoli

A Poem by Tom Q
"

A Ten/40 challenge for Veterans Day.

"

Rain dissolves blackened snow

 

Protesters forever chide

 

But strangers do not know

 

Though pundits take a side

 

Friend have some patience

 

Drum roll an eerie measure

 

Tears march in cadence

 

Permanent separation a treasure

 

Newspaper deadline and

 

Montezuma doesn’t rhyme
