A selection of War Poems, by me, dedicated to the loss of all who met their end, during WWI & WWII. Loss of Civilians, Soldiers and Spies...

Here is a sample poem.

David Hurt's - Canaries

Unsung heroines of war,
fraught with dangers
of their earns.

Slowly poisoned,
becoming infirm,
fatally maimed
or worse...

A jaundice complexion
gradually covered them,
where skin was bare,
tip to toe.

Yet, they did their bit
to stop the armies of Satan
from invading their
green and pleasant
home...

Closer to home,
they feared
for their unborn.

Oblivious babes,
born from their mothers'
sweat and tears.
Briefly sulphured.
Oblivious babes...

A jaundice complexion
covered them,
where skin was bare,
tip to toe...
