Week 3 of the Urban Echo Project (Youth Poetry Workshop) ✍🏾✍️✍🏼 🌍🗺️📝💭 We gave the kids a passport today ( this one resembled a passport but was really a notebook to hold their poems). Today we granted them access to travel and experience the life of Poets in war stricken areas. We journeyed to Israel and Palestine to hear the voices and read the work of Poets who use thier words to raise awareness and inspire change amid the destruction of war. 🙏🏾🙏🏼🙏🏾🙏🙏🏿💜💜💜💜🇵🇸 Today we honored the life of Poet Hiba Abu Nada a Palestinian poet, Hiba was killed in her home in the Gaza Strip by an Israeli airstrike on October 20, 2023, her poetry is still alive creating awareness and inspiring young poets that will continue to use thier poetry to fight against wars. Teaching compassion for others who don’t look like us, showing our youth the problems children thier age face in other countries will provoke thought and enhance their writing ability. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜✍🏾💭 We created our own war poetry inspired by Hiba other anti-war poets. I can’t wait to turn these kids into authors, they are powerful. Keep lifting the village! #LiteraryArts #Poetry #Poets #YoungPoets #Authors #Writers #PolitcalImpact #warpoetry 🌹🌹Justice for all the innocent lives taken by war (everywhere)🌹🌹

На штурм, поки ще туман дрижить на вітру, Десятки разів проговорений план, Але все одно якесь жамевю, Через поле, марсіанський ландшафт по суті, Чим яскравіше світло, тим темнішає навколо сутінь, Двадцять, десять, метрів до бою, Відчувати, що поруч з тобою, Вільні духи степів, м'якою ходою, Йдуть і колишуть полином, чередою, Плетуть із коріння трав мотузкове письмо, Там, на цих вузлах Роду, Пращури теж обирали бій, за життя і свободу... #Donetchyna #warinukraine #airassault #warpoetry #hazar

We've usually got a reasonable range of Folio Society books in stock (the current tally is about 80), but they tend to sell quickly. If you're not familiar with The Folio Society, the company was founded in London nearly 80 years ago, and is still selling beautifully crafted editions of great literature. They're highly collectible, and usually found in near-new condition with the original slipcase. Here's a random sample pulled from the shelf. Siegried Sassoon's 'Memoirs of an Infantry Office' is a classic, and 'Relativity' will give your brain a workout. These are each priced at $45, including postage. #foliosociety #rarebooks #rarebookshop #noosabooks #noosabookshop #einstein #alberteinstein #siegfriedsassoon #warpoetry #warpoets #classicbooks
I've been trying for a long time now to write war poetry in a way that accurately describes the hellish nature of war in a meaningful way. This is the first war poem I am willing to share although I may end up writing more if I am able to. #worldwarone #ypres #poetry #poem #warpoetry #war #poems #warpoems
Жодне дерево не досягне неба, Якщо корінням не торкалося пекла, До літа ще тиждні, але в повітрі - спека, Пронизане жаром, важке, неначе чавунне, В кожному пориві, вибухової хвилі відлуння, Рівняють КАБи й без того убогий підвал, На вістрі піхота, тому коптер злітає, навіть через завал Іде на віраж, стелеться низом, оминаючи РЕБ, Майже торкаючи лопастями, мій маковий весняний степ... #macrophoto #donbasregion #vyshyvankaday #warpoetry #hazar
I would wish you a Happy Wordsmith Wednesday, but it is neither happy, nor Thursday. Though I wish to bring levity and joy to life and to my friends and family, my heart is heavy as bombs fall. What is it, if not terrorism, to bomb entire neighborhoods in order to get the bad guys? What is it, if not kidnapping, to arrest arbitrarily thousands of people? For folks who think that I am justifying the bad guy's actions, you are mistaken. For folks who think I am equating them, you too are mistaken -- though I am drawing parallels. Each is horrific in their own way. May G-d renew in us the compassion for every living soul that most of us are blessed to learn as children, and foolishly forget as adults. . . . #sanfernandovalleypoetry #sanfernandovalleypoet #sfvpoetry #losangelespoetry #losangelespoet #lapoet #israelpalestinepoetry #gazapoetry #peacepoetry #warpoetry

March: Homeric Hymn In March’s winds, ‘midst ruins and stones, Echoes of Homer’s ancient tones. The heroes’ deeds in epic rhymes, Echo through the corridors of time. In verses sung by bards of old, Their valorous tales forever told. The clash of titans, the battles won, In epic poems beneath the sun. Through the ages, their legacy lives, In verses that eternity gives. The heroes of old, in immortal rhyme, Their deeds remembered for all time. #poetrycommunity #poemsofinstagram #epicpoetry #poetsofinstagram #instapoem #verseoftheday #heroicpoetry #poetrylovers #romanticpoetry #epictales #scifipoetry #lovepoetry #fantasyverse #adventurepoetry #romanticverse #warpoetry #historicalromance #fictionalworlds #epicfantasy #poemsofdestiny #verseofvalor #cosmicodyssey #mythology #ancientcivilizations #historicallegends# #ai #aiart #midjourney #aiartwork
February: Romantic Echoes In February’s embrace, where love’s sweet glow, Amidst ruins where ancient stories flow. Heroes and maidens, amidst the debris, Whisper tales of love and destiny. Amidst the ruins of civilizations past, They find echoes of love that forever last. Romantic gestures in crumbling stones, Speak of passion that transcends thrones. In the shadows of forgotten lands, They find the remnants of love’s gentle hands. A timeless dance amidst the decay, Where love’s flame still lights the way. #poetrycommunity #poemsofinstagram #epicpoetry #poetsofinstagram #instapoem #verseoftheday #heroicpoetry #poetrylovers #romanticpoetry #epictales #scifipoetry #lovepoetry #fantasyverse #adventurepoetry #romanticverse #warpoetry #historicalromance #fictionalworlds #epicfantasy #poemsofdestiny #verseofvalor #cosmicodyssey #mythology #ai #aiart #midjourney #aiartwork
January: Odyssey Begins In January’s frost, ‘neath stars so bright, A cosmic odyssey takes flight. Brave souls set sail, to galaxies afar, Their destiny written in every star. Through voids unknown, they boldly stride, Across the cosmic ocean wide. Navigating nebulae, they chart their course, In search of worlds with hidden force. Amidst the darkness, they find their way, Guided by stars, night and day. Foreign galaxies beckon, with mysteries untold, As they journey forth, courageous and bold. #poetrycommunity #poemsofinstagram #epicpoetry #poetsofinstagram #instapoem #verseoftheday #heroicpoetry #poetrylovers #romanticpoetry #epictales #scifipoetry #lovepoetry #fantasyverse #adventurepoetry #romanticverse #warpoetry #historicalromance #fictionalworlds #epicfantasy #poemsofdestiny #verseofvalor #cosmicodyssey #mythology #ancientcivilizations #historicallegends #ai #aiart #midjourney #aiartwork

¿Acaso son estos los hambrientos que a piedra tornamos? Sus lloros, lágrimas y plegarias resuenan, ahogados por el estruendo de mi fusil. Recién salido del entrenamiento, renazco. Zombies and War Refugees Is our fascination with zombies numbing us to real-world tragedies? I've been pondering how our love for zombie stories might mirror our responses to war and refugee crises. While these tales entertain us, I can't shake the feeling that they reveal deeper truths about our empathy—or lack thereof. Let's be mindful that our enjoyment of fiction doesn't blind us to the harsh realities others face. Los zombis y los refugiados de guerra ¿Está nuestra fascinación por los zombis embotando nuestra sensibilidad hacia las tragedias del mundo real? He estado reflexionando sobre cómo nuestro amor por las historias de zombis podría reflejar nuestras respuestas a las guerras y crisis de refugiados. Aunque estas historias nos entretienen, siento que también pueden revelar verdades más profundas sobre nuestra empatía, o la falta de ella. Recordemos que disfrutar de la ficción no debe cegarnos a las duras realidades que otros enfrentan. *Para leer la versión en español de este artículo, desplázate hacia abajo después de la versión en inglés.

🚂✨ Hai mai sentito il fischio di un treno fantasma tra le valli del Grappa? 🌄 Durante la Grande Guerra, il territorio di Crespano del Grappa si trasformò in un nodo logistico vitale, tuttavia molte delle sue storie sembrano oggi quasi dimenticate, come quella di una piccola ma cruciale ferrovia. Il nostro progetto di ricerca, realizzato nel Centenario della Grande Guerra, mira a riportare alla luce la rete ferroviaria Decauville che collegava Bassano a Crespano. Questa ferrovia, allestita in fretta dal Genio Militare, includeva un ponte in ferro, ingegnoso quanto essenziale, che permetteva ai treni di scavalcare valli e continuare il loro cammino verso il fronte. Questa linea temporanea era fondamentale per il trasporto di truppe, munizioni e feriti. Partecipa alla scoperta dei resti di questa ferrovia dimenticata in Via Savi. Il cammino dei Santi ti porterà ad esplorare il sito del ponte e altri residuati ferroviari, testimoni silenziosi di un’epoca di conflitto e di ingegnosità. Scopri come il passato incontra il presente e seguici per non perdere ulteriori storie nascoste e tesori del nostro patrimonio! . . . . . . #WW1 #WorldWar1 #GreatWar #HistoryBuff #MilitaryHistory #WarHistory #Veterans #TrenchWarfare #Battlefields #WarMemorials #WarHeroes #1914to1918 #ArmisticeDay #RemembranceDay #WarMuseums #WarLetters #SoldierStories #FrontLine #NoMansLand #WarArtifacts #HistoricBattles #MilitaryUniforms #WarMedals #WarDiaries #WarPhotography #MilitaryStrategy #WarPropaganda #WarPoetry #WarLiterature #warreenactment

"Woollen Smiles" From the human compassion of a fallen soldier, To the love of a soldier’s mother The very idea, created in memory cast An idea that would pass through hundreds of hands From the colourful threads, of many a ball A knitted doll called Izzy is born again The doll that has breached, so many a distant border A journey so far, not many can comprehend Each story so different than the other, Each resolve, always the same The Woollen Smiles that are created, Are just not from the children who receive them The love from those who create them Passes through our very hands, before passed to another It is the creator’s dedication and love, That the soldiers feel and possess A strengthening of spirits And memories frozen in time, that will last forever A testament to the goodness that still exists In each and everyone of us Their simple gestures are not only a dedication to our fallen But to the living as well The support of a quiet nation, That each and every soldier feels. Author’s Notes: This poem is dedicated to the late Carol Isfeld, the mother of Master Corporal Isfeld and to all those ladies who have created so many smiles across the world. I have handed out over 700 Izzy dolls in my career to date and just wanted to honour the hundreds and hundreds of ladies who have taken time out of their busy lives to honour not only our fallen soldiers, but to allow your soldiers of the Canadian Forces to spread the true meaning of what being a soldier is all about. A simple idea and gesture were nurtured between a mother and a son, out of compassion and caring. That idea has passed through your hands, back into your soldier’s hands. If there was one wish I could give you in return, it would be for you all to experience not only the smile of a child, but the smile you created in the life of a soldier. In a world so consumed by hatred, there is always time to smile. Thank you for allowing me to smile.

Blood red poppies By Michelle Morris 11/05/2024 When the war was done Desolation crushed the Earth Death and destruction Shrouded bodies in the dirt Eerie and quiet Only ghosts roaming sadly Darkness descended Hope and Faith lost to madness Yet from these dark moments A reminder was seeded God sent blood red poppies To grow abundantly in fields Chaos and destruction Will never be the true way Blood red poppies Forever will remain © Michelle Morris, 2024 Photo: Michelle Morris - Blood red poppy reminder ❤️ "Our red poppy is a symbol of both Remembrance and hope for a peaceful future. Poppies are worn as a show of support for the Armed Forces community. The poppy is a well-known and well-established symbol, one that carries a wealth of history and meaning with it."* "Red poppy flowers represent consolation, remembrance and death. Likewise, the poppy is a common symbol that has been used to represent everything from peace to death and even simply sleep. Since ancient times, poppies placed on tombstones represent eternal sleep."** "After the Napoleonic wars in the early 19th century, the land was destroyed as it was left desolate, arid and infertile. Shortly after, red poppy flowers magically grew around the bodies of the fallen soldiers. Poppies then became a symbol of hope and peace with an underlying meaning that the sacrifice of soldier’s lives were for the greater good. Again in 1914, the fields of Northern France broke out in fighting as World War 1 began. Once the world war was over, one of the only plants to regrow were red poppy flowers."** * https://www.britishlegion.org.uk/get-involved/remembrance/about-remembrance/the-poppy#:~:text=Our%20red%20poppy%20is%20a,history%20and%20meaning%20with%20it. ** https://sourcetacticalgear.com/red-poppy-flower/#:~:text=Red%20poppy%20flowers%20represent%20consolation,on%20tombstones%20represent%20eternal%20sleep. #blood #bloodred #red #poppies #poppy #poet #poem #poetry #poetrylovers #poetrycommunity #poets #poetryofinstagram #poemoftheday #poemsaboutwar #war #warpoetry #poetsofinstagram #poppyappeal #poppyflower #poppychallenge #history #historyfacts #Historyofwar #symbolism #symbol #meaningofflowe

Today, we commemorate VE Day, honoring the enduring strength and courage of the Great Generation. As we reflect on their sacrifices, we are reminded of the current unrest in Europe. This poem, written a few years ago, is a tribute to those who fought for peace. Let’s hope for another VE Day soon. May all tyrants be deposed. #VEDay #NeverForget #WWIIHistory #WarPoetry #peacenotwar
George Gordon Byron (1788 - 1824), Lord Byron to you and an extremely complicated man, had mixed views on warfare. He was a romantic and a soldier, leading directly to his death from contracting a fever after the first and second sieges of Missolonghi, Greece during the Greek War of Independence from the Ottoman Empire. The excerpt is from his longer poem, "The Destruction of Sennacherib," well-worth a read aloud. It's vivid poetry. Love does not win for those who died. Love does not save people from sieges. #georgegordonbyron #lordbyron #lordbyronquote #lordbyronquotes #lovealwayswins #peschelpress #peschelpressquotes #peschelpressquoteoftheday #thedestructionofsennacherib #poems #poetry #poetryexcerpt #poemsaboutwar #poetryaboutwar #warpoems #warpoetry #platitudes #lovealwayswinssure #quote #quotes #quoteoftheday #todaysquote #quotesofinstagram #instagramquotes #theassyriancamedown

From a world away, I stream videos From civilian reporters. The mass murder Becoming too much. I want to witness, But my stomach And my soul Have other ideas. My heart cracks. Human life appearing insignificant. Humans revealing themselves as awful. And so I search for the helpers. Isn’t that what Mr Rogers taught us? But when I find the helpers, They’re all dead, too. ©️2024 Sarah Long #palestine #war #humanity #warpoetry #writer #poetry #thoughtsonwar #gaza

“What a waste, army of dreamers” Fun fact, that song got banned from the radio during the Gulf. Anyhooo, first point is lots of people don’t like how graphic war is. So if that’s a bother for you don’t pick this one up. Personally I love war literature and this feeds my history nerd needs and romantic heart. Character development in this book is next level. Elwood & Gaunt are fascinating, Winn really captures the emotions of war time and how war changed the young men. War poetry involvement adds extra points. Not going to add much more as I think this book is better blind read. Swipe for the best book review I’ve seen on Goodreads. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #inmemoriam #inmemoriamalicewinn #warliterature #sigfriedsassoon #wilfredowen #warpoetry #armyofdreamers #bookgram #readinginmarch #bookgramuk #ukbookstagram #bookgram #instabook
“The poem “Rose” (“It’s time to pack the bag and leave”) is completely symbolic, it is about the Last Journey. […] After the Kyiv region was liberated, I read about a woman who described how her older relative refused to leave her home. She spent the entire time of the Russian occupation in her high-rise apartment, rarely leaving the house. She never once went down to the basement during shelling. Her explanation was that if she was destined to die, then all the people in that basement will be torn to pieces, and when the rubble would be cleared, they will not know who is who, and they will not be able to put her back together, because they will not know whose leg or arm is where. It is better that I stand before God in my house, she said, where there will be only me and my remains. I understood this immediately, and for some reason, I imagined this woman in her shelter—well, perhaps not in lacy lingerie, but wearing shoes and tights, a dress, a scarf on her head, ready to meet God.“ — Natalka Bilotserkivets

Getting my World War I on this morning in Washington D.C. by attending my first ANZAC Day memorial ceremony. There were great speeches by representatives of the Australian and New Zealand governments, and a very short yet moving speech by a representative of Turkey, who assured them and the mothers of the sons whose bodies remain buried on Turkish soil, that they are Turkey’s sons as well, and are remembered and cared for. The ceremony closed with a recitation of Laurence Binyon’s poem “For the Fallen” - “at the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.” The poem was published in September 1914, merely a month after the start of the war. The ceremony took place at the World War I Memorial in Pershing Park, where there’s a statue to the man himself. Did some more wandering to see the 1st Division’s Memorial. Probably a week too late to see the red tulips that bloom in the shape of a Big Red One, the division’s moniker. The surrounding area is closed off so unfortunately it’s tough to get a good picture. #anzac #anzacday #wwi #thegreatwar #wewillrememberthem🌹 #warpoetry #pershing #pershingpark #doughboy #aef #bigredone #nps #abmc #washingtondc #1stinfantrydivision

🌺Some beautiful words written by my Grandfather at the end of WW2 🖤 His words seem more apt than ever today. Cecil William Payne (known as Bill), was a wise and kind man, ahead of his time in his thinking, who fortunately came home after serving in the British Royal Navy. This ANZAC day, my thoughts go out to the brave Australian servicemen and women who fought so fearlessly for Australia's freedom, and also for those who continue to serve to keep us safe. Their courage never ceases to amaze me. Especially thinking of my little sister today—who served 21 years in the UK Armed Forces, medals of bravery from missions in places like Afghanistan, Kosovo and Yugoslavia. Proud doesn’t even cover it. 🥰 Let's remember and give thanks today. Lest we forget. 🖤🌺 . . . . . #ANZACDay #LestWeForget #ANZACDay2024 #Heroes #ANZACDayDawnService #FallenHeroes #WeWillRememberThem #SeabirdSocials #Soldiers #GreatestGeneration #NorthernBeaches #Sydney #Australia #WWIIVeteran #CommunityOfPoets #WarPoetry #WordsThatMatter #WomensStories #WorldOfPoetry #PoetsOfInstagram #PoetryOfIG
Lest we forget. There are some that go for love of a fight And some for love of a land, And some for a dream of the world set free Which they barely understand, A dream of the world set free from Hate — But splendidly, one and all, Danger they drink as ’twere wine of Life And jest as they reel and fall. Clean aims, rare faculties, strength and youth, They have poured them freely forth For the sake of the sun-steeped land they left And the far green isle in the North. What can we do to be worthy of them, Now hearts are breaking for pride? Give comfort at least to the wounded men And the kin of the men that died. ~ Dorothea Mackellar Image- Colourised group portrait of three unidentified Australian soldiers of the 1st Division, probably 8th Battalion. From the Thuillier collection of glass plate negatives. Taken by Louis and Antoinette Thuillier in Vignacourt, France during the period 1916 to 1918. AWM
book p5: THE DESTRUCTION OF SENNACHERIB Lord Byron The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold, And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold; And the sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea, When the blue wave rolls nightly on deep Galilee. Like the leaves of the forest when Summer is green, That host with their banners at sunset were seen: Like the leaves of the forest when Autumn hath blown, That host on the morrow lay withered and strown. For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast, And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed; And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill, And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still! And there lay the steed with his nostril all wide, But through it there rolled not the breath of his pride; And the foam of his gasping lay white on the turf, And cold as the spray of the rock-beating surf. And there lay the rider distorted and pale, With the dew on his brow, and the rust on his mail: And the tents were all silent, the banners alone, The lances unlifted, the trumpet unblown. And the widows of Ashur are loud in their wail, And the idols are broke in the temple of Baal; And the might of the Gentile, unsmote by the sword, Hath melted like snow in the glance of the Lord! #art #artgallery #artist #artwork #artworks #artoftheday #artoftheweek #illustration #illustrationart #illustrations #book #books #booknerd #bookbinding #graphite #graphitedrawing #sketch #draw #drawing #drawings #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetrylovers #byron #lordbyron #warpoetry
Of all the #onthisday posts I've been doing lately, this is the hardest one for me to write about.... So i'm going to be #bookish and share a #poem by a #NewZealandPoet, Lorna Staveley Anker. This is from Ellen’s Vigil Griffin Press, 1996 and was published in The Judas Tree, 2013. Ellen’s Vigil Benjamin Isaac Tom Passchendaele Ypres and Somme three ovals float on the cold wall plastered whiter than their bones, young, khaki’d their bud-tender eyes premonition filled. Ellen, Her three boys gone, transplanted seventy years from Lurgan’s linen no longer counts crops in season but digs diligently, delicately, digs down further down her spade searching her garden for three lost sons Thomas Isaac and Ben. #LornaStaveleyAnker #nzwarpoet #anzacday #leastweforget #forpeace #endallwars #peacenotwar #hopeforthefuture #lovenotwar #peacefulresolution #nomorekilling #nomoredeath #endthewar #WWI #WWII #warpoem #warpoetry #womenpoet #womenwarpoet #loss #death #rememberence #thejudastree #1996 #2013 #feministperspective
The breeze and its echoes have become an apparatus for the living souls who do have not the strength left to cry for their sons and daughters. #warpoetry
