A/N:Written for the Poetry Boot Camp Challenge. Prompt used, green.

Especially written for Halloween as this is the Death Anniversary of James and Lily.

My first poem written seriously, please be kind.


Under the green canopy,

Under the bright blue sky,

Under the sun's mild glare,

They lay side by side;

Smiling, void from care and worry

The war is on

People are dying

Loved ones they are losing.

But that day was theirs

The worry temporarily gone

Years later...

The war was over

And under the similar green canopy

They lay side by side

The only difference

Is they were six feet deep.


A/N: I am keeping this as Work In Progress, I will post all 50 poems for the challenge under this.
