Free-form poetry? |
| The tired soldier lays down his pack And slouches down onto the wet ground The top of the hill has good vantage And tall grasses conceal as they sway around him The wind blows, cooling him Chilling the sweaty uniform which sticks to his body And gives him a refreshing shiver Normally he would sleep given a minute But this is too serene and must be enjoyed He listens to the grass as he gazes up at the stars A strange situation to find such peace He pokes up his head, Viewing his fellows doing the same the sigh of weights being again lifted As the commander whispers; onward march |
