A selection of War Poems, by me, dedicated to the loss of all who met their end, during WWI & WWII.  Loss of Civilians, Soldiers and Spies...

Here is a sample poem. 


David Hurt's - Canaries 


Unsung heroines of war,
fraught with dangers 
of their earns.

Slowly poisoned,
becoming infirm,
fatally maimed 
or worse...

A jaundice complexion 
gradually covered them,
where skin was bare,
tip to toe.

Yet, they did their bit 
to stop the armies of Satan
from invading their 
green and pleasant 
home...

Closer to home,
they feared 
for their unborn.

Oblivious babes,
born from their mothers' 
sweat and tears. 
Briefly sulphured.
Oblivious babes...

A jaundice complexion 
covered them,
where skin was bare,
tip to toe...
