Anthem for Doomed Youth No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells; Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs,— The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells; And bugles calling for them from sad shires.

“NOT ABOUT HEROES” - Ecoline, china, tempere - 68x78 cm (2009) - collezione privata

Questo dipinto è ispirato ad una pièce teatrale sul poeta di guerra inglese #WilfredOwen (18 marzo 1893 - 4 novembre 1918), caduto sul canale dell'Oise-Sambre in questo giorno.

I sit in a glade and ponder. A hidden spot from man. The silence that I need for thought, I know you'd understand.

Please join me for this moment. A task I know is true. I'm out the save the common man and fight the chosen few. #warpoet #lymric

Army officers had to write haikus about Pacific theater of World War II during a leadership course “Within the Context, Joint Force Capabilities, At Decisive Points” — just one of the haikus written by Army officers during the Advanced Military Studies program.

Still may Time hold some golden space
Where I'll unpack that scented store
Of song and flower and sky and face,
And count, and touch, and turn them o'er,

Cover to Lisa Stice's "FORCES: Poems" depicts two images in juxtaposition: 1. A Vermeer painting of a woman using a scale to weigh precious stones and metals; 2. a U.S. Marine parachutist hanging in the air, against a mountainous background. The slide headline reads, "Military Spouse Discovers Balance in Art + Poetry" and "In Print + On Kindle! On Sale Now!"

Till on the haunting flares
We turned our backs...

This was the first and one of my favourite images I painted for my book - Dulce et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen.

Gwnes wir fwynhau ymweld â’r Ysgwrn yn ddiweddar. Lle difyr, trist a hardd. Y tywyswyr yn arbennig. A drws coch y gegin yn berffaith.
Yr Ysgwrn - well worth a visit. Interesting, sad and beautiful. And the red door in the kitchen is perfect.
