Poems from MillRatUSMC aka Ricardo
I served 10 years in the United States Marine Corps
Followed by working 30 years in a steelmill of Northwest Indiana
I'm now living in Altoona or is is it Al Tuna, PA
The Mourning Dove is gone.
And so are her baby squabs.
They've gone one by one.
Now all that is left .
Is an empty nest.
Like life.
Some...
I was lead
To the path.
Of poetry.
By some famous war poets.
Siegfried Sassoon and Winfred Owen.
And Cpl Robert Lin Cook USMC.
Poem...
Some poets have written
About their governments
Before on issues of their day.
Soon, it will be politics as usual.
Slamming the character...
They're weavin'
And they're bobbin'
Punching and counter punching.
Sometimes they land blows.
Sometimes they get hit.
No they are not...
First she build a nest.
Under our porch awning.
Next she sitting on her nest.
Than, I heard some noise.
Now she feeding three.
Soon all...
