11/11/11

The challenge this week was to write an 11/11/11 poem; I hope a number of you will post your poems and comments here.  As you know, the armistice signed this day, ending the Great War, was greeted by joy as the War to End All Wars:

11/11/11

Eleven/eleven/eleven

Papa’s dead and gone to heaven

Tom and Dick took strange leaven

Eleven/eleven/eleven

Eleven/eleven/eleven

Tarot card, ouija board, master plot

Mayan sage, and all seers misbegot

Eleven/eleven/eleven

Eleven/eleven/eleven

Shrapnel and shell: we won

Lookie, lookie, what we done

Eleven/eleven/eleven
