Topic:
war

Majestic mountains in Central Highlands
Coastal pristine beaches
Temple cities of Hue
Heavy French culture in Saigon
Rice Paddy Deltas and water cities
Land of diversity and mystery
Times of peace and times of conflict
Yet, the people endure war
Vietnam, a year of my life
Spent on the land, the rivers, and in the air
Good days and bad ones
Not sure I want to go back now that the
Land is calm and people endure peace.
There is little sleep for the old soldier
Who has walked on your beaches,
Swam in your rivers,
Bathed in a monsoon,
Past through your forests,
And waded through rice paddies
I know I didnt leave anything behind

I like this one. It speaks of no regrets, and is a more positive veteran poem than one would expect... if anyone were to expect anything.
Keep writing. |
