Wind Poem by Tom Allport
Wind
As the chemical wrath rained down
There was nothing we could do
But the white washed cottage
Was hidden and out of view
It was surrounded by
Tall trees where birds once flew
Now there was only silence
But for the whistling wind
For all life had now ceased
It was death to every living thing.
The effects are still being felt in Laos Cambodia and Vietnam, thank you for this meaningful reminder. A pleasure to read, well written. Thank you Tom.

I'm not sure of my 'history facts', but even if this poem is meant to be fictional, it is a topic worth considering for world leaders et al. I give **** stars. bri : )
As a topic/hashtag, 'demise' fits the poem. And though people died on both sides of the 'Vietnam Conflict', now the U.S. and 'South Vietnam' are at peace and 'made in Vietnam' labels have been found in U.S. stores.
A powerful poem so well expressed. A great warning to those who engage in chemical warfare.
lovely poem with powerful expressions. Just the thought of the scenario is so troubling.
