Desert Wind |
 |
|
The wind, it blows...
and, with it and the sand
the tanks move on
into Baghdad...
It is almost too
easy
Where is Saddam
Are you hiding...
Are you
alone...
or are you long gone...
with the sand and the
wind
The wind is an alterer
of the desert sand...
Does it cover the remains
of a Tyrant's band
and,
pray, not brave Liberators
of the desert land...
Instinct says beware,
and it's seldom wrong...
Beware...
Beware, what lies hidden, in the sand... |

About
Author...
Faye Sizemore makes her home in the beautiful foothills of South Carolina with Grant, the love of her life, as well as three dogs, two cats, two parakeets and four nanny goats. Grant is a Vietnam Veteran having served with the US Marines in 1968-69 and is, of course, Faye's muse. Faye is deeply interested in Veterans' Affairs and Veterans' Causes. She is very proud of Grant and her poetry is an off-shoot of that pride.
