[bodytext] => This is my portrayal of the thoughts Vietnam Veterans may have! I dedicate this poem out of Honor and Respect to every Vietnam or Combat Veteran! "Thank you for your service" Just before dusk the reddish sky slowly fading away My fears start to grow my nerves have a price to pay Locked and loaded firm grip on my weapon is what I do Watching the shadows in the distance not knowing how long, before they are next to you So dirty and smelly no bath taken for quite a spell I could be lying next to a dead animal and could not even tell Fear in my mind my eyes wide open to full view Prepared and ready for what comes it is what I must do Many hours of darkness in a world civilians would never know I signed up for adventure but to this place I did not need to go Suddenly out of nowhere one of those shadows closer than should be My instinct took over so I could protect my buddy and me One more lifeless soul a pity it has to be this way He chose his destiny when he tried to take my life away Images forever embedded still fighting that war, even though many years already gone by Everyone thinks they have a cure for a Vet they never walked the walk, and will never know all the reasons why Written on 9 February 2015 Copyright © 2015 E.Wayne Searles All Rights Reserved http://www.poeticquest-1.biglaunch.net Soul-of-a-poet@hotmail.com [comments] => 2 [counter] => 128 [topic] => 43 [informant] => waynster [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
