Carried away on whispering winds
To a lonesome land

Twenty, One Line Poem
A ghostly Soldier, a Mother and babe alone, the price of freedom.
The chilled air rushes through the leaf strewn forest floor, winter's on its way.
A Mime make a rhyme, sure a Mime can make a rhyme, but who would hear it.

Nigel Astell's poem/comment

Gray Earth
Gray Earth and gray sky
