One of the key problems today is that politics is such a disgrace. Good people don’t go into government.

in Poems Tags: Day One, November Yeats challenge
Well it’s November and I am joining Jane Dougherty in an alternative to the scary grown up NanoWritMo.
I agree with Jane that it is easier to write than get your book published, even self published. So I shall be joining her in writing a poem a day, fingers crossed, using a couple of lines which she will have picked from a WB Yeats poem.
The first lines chosen are
“they will ride the North when the ger-eagle flies,
With heavy whitening wings, and a heart fallen cold:” —W. B. Yeats
Jane’s first poem and her explation of this Alternative Challenge is here.
My first poem inspired by Yeats’s words is about Canadian/ North American First Nation, indigenous women, Inuit, Metis and Native American. Read about them here.
The disappeared.
They did not all ask to die
Not all had that choice
Some did just go, no reason why.
Others are lost without a voice.
They would blacken the Northern sky
If they could only be seen
Competing with magestic eagles as they fly
Empty shells of what they could of been.
They had little future but it was theirs.
Young, their wings not grown
Gone and authorities seem not to care
Cold lost souls, stolen lives they had never known.
Salty like hot dogs (and tears). Sweet like marmalade (and life).
Rants, humor, sarcasm, and a haiku-like substance? It's hard to know what's going to come out of our minds next.
