Poetry - Lynn White

  The Rock Pool Just a small gap in the cliff side, dry and bare. Then in came the sea on a high tide washing over it, some staying   behind leaving a little pool of salt water, full of life filling the gap, bringing it alive temporarily. https://writingcafejournal.com/poem.php?slug=the-rock-pool

  Suffer The Little Children Poets are dangerous. Naming the dead   leads to arrest. The killing   of some, by some is fine, unlike the threatening nature of reading a poem. And the unmentionables, the nameless children, must suffer silently. Poets are ‘The Brave’ in Scotland today. Poetry is dangerous. https://newversenews.blogspot.com/2026/07/suffer-little-children.html

  Orion’s Belt Orion is back.   He’s hunting again, his sword sharpened, his belt tightened. The animals insects   birds fish are all falling. And this time Gaia thinks not even the scorpion will survive. But she still has some hope   and pins it on the cockroach as she loosens his belt again. https://jayzomondarkmyth.com/darkmythproductions/theworldofmyth/149/poems/007.html

  Dodging The Draft Let’s hear it for the Draft Dodgers, the Conchis, Refuseniks, Peaceniks and naysaying Evaders. Salute them. Applaud them. Sing their praises. Hymns of Praise, peans for their pain and for our peace. Sing   from Flanders to Vietnam, Ukraine, Israel,   Russia,   The Rest. Sing loud. Sing clear. All together now, let them hear. Sing loud. Sing clear. All together now, make Them hear. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H9BHGZG5

  Peace Is Peace is more   than the absence of war though that would be a start. And then the dissolving of boundaries constructed by humans to cordon off one from the other and shout across the divide. Then we can whisper and hug our way to peace. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H9BHGZG5

  Daisies Unchained   We buried our dreams beneath a wreath of daisies   freed from their chains to mark the grave temporarily. Waiting for each daisy death to hide them for ever, unless someone has the key that will release them and make them flower again. https://spillwords.com/daisies-unchained/
