Bull Of Writes

February of 2009, I ran across this marvelous blog... Every Photo Tells A Story . Several times a week, a photo or painting is posted and viewers are asked to write poetry or comment. I tried it and was hooked and hog-tied from the get-go. With the permssion of the EPTAS owner and acknowledging and linking her contributors, I am recreating MY contributions from that time to currently. The only reason I'm doing this is because my family has been bugging me to do it, so they can get my poems published by Blog2Print. Duh. Anyway, you're invited to browse along while I rebuild this poetry pyramid. Some of my stuff ain't all THAT bad! ;-)

Auschwitz (March 1)


A vile and bitter darkness,
Dwells within these walls,
A vestige of past evils,
That shocks us and appalls.

Auschwitz now stands empty,
Its cells like empty wombs,
The ghosts of sorrow and despair,
And shame it now entombs.

Cries of utter hopelessness,
Born of mortal fears,
Arose to a crescendo,
But fell on deafened ears.

A blinded world stood idly by,
Midst the suffering and pain,
A haunting question taunts us now...
Can it ever happen again?
