Their shouts remain
as hope reclaimed
the smoke still
on the beach
The roars that hide
of those who died
yet heard
within the breach
A spirit roams
within the bones
of men
who went beyond
In freedom’s quest
to give their best
in times
— forever long
(Operation Dynamo - Dunkirk, 1940: February, 2025)

Thanks Tony.
You're welcome
Kurt,
Your piece has a strong, solemn rhythm which evokes a deep sense of remembrance & sacrifice.
You paint a vivid picture of the battlefield enhancing the moments of struggle. The brevity of each stanza gives the poem a sharp, haunting quality that fits its theme of loss & resilience. Your flow feels natural & not forced.
A touching & evocative piece.
As always, a solid piece of writing,
regards
Ma5on
