Poetry Monday :: No Poem Here

If you want to read some good poetry today you got to head elsewhere. To
Diane - who has taken over the hosting of  this challenge
- and Mimi of Messymimi's Meanderings (who also supplies us with topics)
They are both writing wonderful, funny, thought-provoking, ingenious and honestly well written verse. Go and read.

- Karen of Baking in a Tornado has joined us in this crazy pursuit, and promises to join in at least once a month - maybe that's today!
-  SpikesBestMate often publishes a nice verse in the comments.
-  Jenny at Procrastinating Donkey who has been a faithful participant, is taking a break due to her husband's passing from this world. Let's continue to send warm thoughts, good energy, and lots of prayers her way.

I have something more to ask of you: If you read the poetry of others, would you please leave a comment. Half - if not more - the fun of these challenges is receiving the responses of others.

  As Memorial Day is not celebrated in Denmark, and I am not one for worshipping soldiers and war efforts in general, no poeming will happen here today.
  I could of course compose a poem in honour of everyone who ever died for their country, but I think this is not what this day is all about.

  1. We don't celebrate Memorial Day here either.
    Enjoy your day, however you spend it. Healthily and happily I hope.

  2. Like you, i do not glory in war. Those who fought to defend their homes and way of life from outside aggressors have my deep respect, as i know they did not undertake it lightly.

    May you have a most blessed and beautiful day.

    1. I see what you mean. War in righteous defence of your own land, but when is a war really only that? There's almost always two sides to a war.

  3. It all just makes me cry. WHY do we have wars? They make no sense at all to me.

  4. "I am not one for worshipping soldiers and war efforts"
    I am not either, so I haven't left a comment at either of those poems.
