LEAD HEAD

Bullet in the brain
another been slain
a war of words ripped
asunder the price they
pay is six feet under.

judge and jury in the
chamber of a gun is
how i heard it sung .

Dear Ziggy

I know what u mean, but u should try every avenue, me, just a hobby, yet I may finish my book. Never know.You do have a talent as many do on this site, I think maybe it is a stepping stone. I suppose you could do both? I would hate to see you go.I know poetry means more to others than some, I might dabble but I like to be able to enjoy reading a poem and if the poet can give the reader what they like, well that is what I call a true poet.If u go to the workshop let me know how u like it.I hope to see and read more of u next week, I am flat chat until sunday now, wedding etc, but i will chat again then. Night Irish Eyes love Lyz. XX

hello

This poem has meaning for me, but it is probably not the meaning you intended. I see tow people ragging away at each other, with neither one listening. Therefore no compromise can be made. I'd love to know the real meaning. p.s. What happened to your other poem? I went to read it again and couldn't find it. Always, Cat

Ziggy:

Very dramatic, very drastic, but very true, for that's what anger amounts to. The consequences of it all, none of the involved therewith can fathom, for those are the uses of war and hate. Well done, my dear friend, a great poem! Sincerely, Hugo

ok my friend, I now know where you're coming from. I'll say no more here. Very very well constructed. HS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "With all that I am and all that I could be, I walk this earth and yet nobody sees me".
