War is Wonderful
It's about your brothers.
How her brother made the war seem almost fun
The way the sunlight came around him and lifted him up
It's about love and bonds that not even death can break
War is fun
The harmonies of sound and shape
War is hope
A powerful, implacable beauty
War is thrilling.
War makes you a man
The majesty of combat fills the eye
Sometimes things can almost get sweet
Very personal and touching
To be there for a reason
You've never felt more at peace
You recognize what's valuable
It was my life
We were real young and innocent
Like everybody else
It's about love and memory
It was a love story
Happy stories, too, and even a few peace stories
But in truth war is also beautiful
We got ourselves a nice mellow war today.
Nice job Diego! I like how you used quotes from the book that illustrate how war is not just death and misery. Most of the found poems are about how was is hell, but yours is unique in a way that shows war as fun and wonderful.
