Would you please read a Memorial Day, metrically flawed poem?

I'm not afraid to write flawed poems when I want to express something. What about you? Do you want to put all poetry in a box?

OCTOBER SUNDAY 10-10-10

(Repeat after me)

by Elaine

Ten…ten…ten…hut!

The Earth’s become

A sand-filled rut!

It’s a Day Memorial,

Soldiers, step forwardial,

Remember yesterday!

We can’t remember yesterday,

The same thing’s happening today,

Oh, how I wish war’d go away!

We all love our dear country,

Whichever our country may be,

Marching to our destiny!

Ten…ten..ten…hut!

We all die in desert smut,

The Earth’s become

A sand-filled rut…

Update:

The sand comes from the Afghanie Desert.

Update 2:

"Afghani" Desert

    Why Ms. P, you are almost flawed enough here to be 'Beautifully Broken'(TM)(c)LC

    My son has seen those sands beneath his feet and I only thank the stars he isn't beneath it.

    I liked it Elaine,

    I cannot explain

    To ignite the peculiar

    To write the unusualar (New word)

    All require the wit

    Of a well formed poem

    Whatever that may be

    One two or perhaps even three ?

    Good Luck.

    Best Wishes.

    Where did the sand come from? I didn't put it there. But, as usual, I will be asked to clean it up...hehehe

    good luck!
