Spirit of a Lone Soldier
A lone soldier still stands guard at his post,
waiting for a signal without comprehension
that his war was long ago lost,
but he still stands at attention.
Hundreds of years have elapsed,
but he continues to stand guard.
What he fought for has long since collapsed,
but signs of peace he continues to disregard.
Until his captain releases him of duty,
he will continue to scan the horizon
for signs of destruction amongst beauty
as his spirit continues to wizen.

Imagist/Minimalist poetry awakens our senses.
I invite you to write a short poem, using as few words as possible to describe a smell, a sound, or a taste. William Carlos Williams’ Red Wheelbarrow is a good example.
