Wrote a bad sonnet about female Ukranian soldiers

Wanted to write a good one but it was beyond me.

But photos of those soldiers moved this former female Army Officer.

With flowers woven into hair bright gold

A girl with rifle held at ready now

Oh Russia, she lies waiting, spirit bold

And wears upon shoulders, a soldier’s vow.



She will not be defeated nor allayed

Her homeland is her heart, she stands with pride

Your leader, Russia, has your soul betrayed

And death will take your soldiers like the tide.



The bombs they throw from cars against your tanks

Give extra light to her resolute eyes,

Spirit a river overflowing banks

And you oh Russia march forward on lies.



She fights for her children and yes for her home

Russian sunflowers will bloom in the loam.

She left a very lovely comment on my painting a month or so ago. Hope she is well, she is

Everything that is fine and good about this world. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹

Love Lunatica so much, such a bright spirit! ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much for the heart ❤️

It means the whole world to me, I feel like I really belong here at DU with that heart. Thank you.
