Welcome to another "P-06877-etry” feature where Ridgefield’s Poet Laureate, Ira Joe Fisher, shares his poetic prowess with HamletHub readers!
Memorial Day
Listen. To the wind.
This is a day for remembering;
for flowers and flags
…to remember what is sacred.
On a day to pray and never forget
those who gave – women and men –
who gave and fell to the thuds of war.
Listen. To the wind
joining our prayer to remember
those who fell.
Listen. Listen and remember
Decoration Day. Memorial Day.
A day for flowers and a flag.
Listen. As we pray to remember.
As we pray, pray, pray for peace.
Listen.
