The Protection Of Peace
On hard, concrete, grey, lifeless, stone,
Gently and delicately,
Created, a dove alone
A messenger of love and peace,
A padded jacket protecting her feathery fleece.
People walking on hard macadam,
May
wonder why ?
Peace is no longer our Madame ?
A gentle woman that'd caress
Nurse humanity, through its stresses,
Who would no longer have to be swathed
In a jacket for protection
For humanity she would bathe,
Lovingly, with care
She'd teach us not to fight and stare,
She'd sponge our souls in peace
So wars, prejudice and hate
Would stop!
Cease!

This is a powerful image--both words and photo. You've used the texture prompt very effectively. Like the feminine projection of peace, too. Thanks for sharing this with us.
ReplyDeleteEvocative writing...very effective. 'For humanity she would bathe,
ReplyDeleteLovingly, with care' ~ lovely imagery :)
Love the contrast in this piece.
ReplyDeleteWonderful Kerry! Truly! The image is fantastic and your words fit it so very perfectly...a fantastic presentation, and equally fantastic plea. Think we'll ever get it right?
ReplyDeleteEvocative writing - excellent.

The image is very strong - of the target on the dove and the child looking as he's walking by...
I pray and hope each day...
Thank you.

I like the contrasts here between hard and soft textures.
ReplyDeleteA great post indeed! I fell for the Banksy at once, but the poem struck me as being even better - it worked its way into my consciousness. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteSoftly moves your pen as the delicate wings of a dove delivers a message of peace. Lovely!

I am really bad at the poetry lingo, but I liked the flow of this. The twists and turns of the words, if you understand what I mean by that? Basically, I liked it a lot! *smile*
