Comment from Dolly'sPoems
A poignant and chilling write about what is happening in Ukraine and you are right to pray for those people as they will need our prayers. I can't imagine my country being invaded, although it has been close to it in the past. Is history repeating itself Paul, and should be all be worried? During the 1970's terrorism in Britain came close to my door when a pub I used to frequent was bombed by the IRA in Birmingham, killing many people. I was shocked and frightened, I can't imagine what the Ukrainian people are feeling or what their future holds. I am appalled along with the rest of the world by what has happened. A fine sonnet with good metre and rhyme and I wish you luck with the sonnet contest, may the best man win! I have run out of sixes, but if I had one, I would give it to you, love Dolly x

Thanks, Dolly. Thank God that up here in Maine we are usually far removed from violence.

Living in Europe we could easily be involved in a war, I certainly hope it doesn?t come to that though x x x

This is a very interesting take of current events. Some of this is true, but some is not or things are missing. I have no doubt some of this:
They feel the heavy hand of Russia's might.
Their hearts are filled with fear, but they remain.
For freedom from oppression they will fight.
The Russian horde is marching in the street.
The citizens await behind locked doors.
Outnumbered, they will not accept defeat,
but many have fled too. WE have seen them run and not just civilians. Who are not fighting for freedom. I'm not blaming them, but they did give up their nukes for money and promises.

Thanks for the review. Hopefully enough have remained to put down this invasion.

I pray for Ukraine and the entire world, evil has ran rampant, especially in this decade. We definitely need divine intervention. God works miracles through people so I pray all evil is destroyed.

Thanks for the review. I'm sure that God is not very happy with what is going on down on Earth.
Comment from dragonpoet
Paul,
Yes it is good to pray for them and any country tying not to be dominated by tyranny.
This is a well written sonnet ending with a strong image in the form of a quetion.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Thanks, Joan. Will we ever see world peace?

My pleasure, Paul. I hope so. But with men like Putin in this world it is doubtful.

Comment from Carolyn Dooley
This will hurt everyone. I am afraid it is going to crimson in snow. Many innocent people will die. I do not know what to think or say. Good luck.
Thank you for the great post.

Well said, well written from the heart. Latest news is he will use fire bombs. His excuse is Ukraine really belongs to Russia. He is a liar, he wants every country he can take. Too much talking with the allies, action must be taken and now! K xx

You are right. He needs to be dealt with firmly.
Comment from lindafisher
There is a lot of speculation and fear at the moment around the world. These poor people are at the mercy of a power crazed tyrant. I pray that a solution will be reached. Who will be next?
