If I should die...

[Soren]

just an idea....

[AndyHollinger]

Of all the art you've shared with us ... this is - IMHO - the best ... I love the concept ... and would purchase one if it would fit in a nice 10X8 or so frame ...

The pencil and sketch give it an aire of a soldier writing home ....

Thanks for sharing

The idea of the prose and the drawing together is a winner Soren. I like the barb wire divide.

I forsee a series coming from you-

A bit of prose/poetry and a suitable drawing....

What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?

-Only the monstrous anger of the guns.

Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle

Can patter out their hasty orisons.

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.

What candles may be held to speed them all?

Not in the hands of boys but in their eyes

Shall shine the holy glimmers of good-byes.

The pallor of girls' brows shall be their pall;

Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds,

And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds.

How's about one for this, Anthem for Doomed Youth by Wilfred Owen
