TOLLED

The church bell tolls, poppies round the memorial stone lie silent

As the dead, fallen but not buried here, names only are inscribed

A toll paid in far off lands for peace, we were told. Some hope.


[Poem* - 13 November 2025]

*A Sijo – a Korean poetry form consisting of three lines of 14 to 16 syllables
