Joe Grieco

Double Down by Dig Wayne

Message To Kyiv


Dear Citizen

Press your face to the wet and broken glass that was a window


It’s a pallid snow dumped like crazy on Ukraine

Stupid now to point the finger


The hanging of your children in the arbor was both unfortunate and silly


Mushrooms will pop through the lawn tomorrow

Which are poison?

Which are not?

Only guys like us would try to eat them all


The Republic melted like a snowman in Spring thaw

Yours was a crime of blind contentment

Forget what you think you saw

Now that you’ve stopped resisting, peace is back

And it’s going to be fantastical


Your pal,

The Jackal

Epiphany I wish I had a poem for you one that was lyrical and sweet  A poem filled with love and joy  that blossoms like flowers in Spring  ...
