    the war has ended

    the storm has ended
    the wind is dead
    the rain has stopped
    the world is silent.

    bombs no longer fall
    planes no longer fly
    guns no longer fire
    tanks no longer roll

    no child plays in the park
    no dogs barkin the park
    no soldiers cry out in pain
    no birds are heard in the trees

    buildings stand in ruins
    parks lay burnt and broken
    lake beds have boiled away
    fields have burned

    the war has ended
    the bomb was dropped
    life has ended
    all life as weknow it is dead.

    Good poem. You paint quite a picture with your words. A scary picture in beautiful art. Keep it up.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
