AN: two impromptu poems that i was writing whilst chatting with a friend, and he just had to comment in the middle of it!

the world is quiet here says:

the world is at peace

the world is quiet here says:

a sweet adieu we bid the old year

the world is quiet here says:

as it leaves us forever

the world is quiet here says:

we look upon it fondly

Harry X - gooo Skandia says:

the world is not at peace

the world is quiet here says:

and see the passing

Harry X - gooo Skandia says:

22000 people are DEAD from one earthquke

the world is quiet here says:

we greet the new year as it comes

the world is quiet here says:

you ruined my poem!

the world is quiet here says:

that is a depressing line to put in a peaceful poem

Harry X - gooo Skandia says:

i suppose so...

Harry X - gooo Skandia says:

but who writes about butterflies in wartime

the world is quiet here says:

i suppose

the world is quiet here says:

a butterfly skitters on the wind

the world is quiet here says:

it overbears the smoke and ashes

the world is quiet here says:

the cannons boom

Harry X - gooo Skandia says:

imagery

the world is quiet here says:

the metal clashes

Harry X - gooo Skandia says:

nah not boom

the world is quiet here says:

it sees and smells death

Harry X - gooo Skandia says:

the cannons.... take charge

Harry X - gooo Skandia says:

and the metal grinds

Harry X - gooo Skandia says:

as each side takes its hostages

Harry X - gooo Skandia says:

at the cost of its sacrifices

the world is quiet here says:

it flies towards the light

the world is quiet here says:

salt on wings

the world is quiet here says:

the warriors of the war

the world is quiet here says:

see a splash of colour flutter into a trench

the world is quiet here says:

it found no nourishment in the ashes of war

Harry X - gooo Skandia says:

where is sam

the world is quiet here says:

no fulfillment in death

the world is quiet here says:

but a piece of beauty in death as yet

the world is quiet here says:

a warrior keeps a colour in his pocket for luck.

the world is quiet here says:

the world is quiet here says:

you enjoy ruining my poems!

the world is quiet here says:

lol

the world is quiet here says:

i dunno

the world is quiet here says:

shes doesnt answer

Harry X - gooo Skandia says:

sorry

The end.

Sam is my friend's girlfriend, for all those who bothered to wonder
