Poem: The Game of War

Talking trash
Shootin’ low
Street ball rules
Friend or foe
Three point shot
From the line
Leather bumps
Boys at prime
Blasts away
Bim bam boom
Clicked off rounds
End too soon
Game called short
Time to go
Who did win?
No one knows.

You are way to kind..actually you are as kind as you are talented. I have published a book. Poems of Peace: Darfur and Beyond. YOU definitely should seek to do the same. I am working on a new one...only this time I am going to add artwork...the scattered tragic kind with the block type words embossed on top...we'll see how it goes.

Keep me posted on your book...I would love to read a rough draft. : ) Keep writing.
