[bodytext] => Let’s imagine it’s 1917 It's Christmastime in the trenches We’re all stuck out here On the front line Devoid of beer and wenches (Sorry ladies, not very pc that last! ;-) Let’s call a truce For old times sake And all the name calling too And yes I DO mean it Even for you too! For a brief spell we’ll sing ‘Silent Night’ And maybe ‘Auld Lang Syne’ Now’s not the time for bitter debate To do that now’s a crime Let’s have a glass and relax as friends Not fiends in a war For this is the time for bonhomie Not swimming in the gore Let the future stay where it belongs And let now be about love No matter our differences in the past Take a hand from out the glove And if for just this brief spell All shake the hand of the foe Now’s the time for a HAPPY face And feel that Christmas glow! Think yourself back to the fields of Ypres Theyre’s Jerry over there Yesterday you would kill the swine But today somehow you care They sing so sweet that ‘Silent Night’ As softly falls the snow In the darkness of the night You forget he is the foe He calls from his bunker and you from yours And next minute your shaking hands Then it’s down to football in between In those no-mans lands All smiles and song and hail-fellow-well-met A common bond of Man Let’s enjoy this moment while we may Let's enjoy it while we can! -o- To anyone and everyone without exclusion and on either side who has fought honourably with word and mind here over the past bitter 18 months or so! -o- *) *) *) MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!! *) *) *) (And NO I havn't had a single drink today! ) [comments] => 2 [counter] => 166 [topic] => 41 [informant] => steeleyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => political )

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. ©
