Poem: 'Vergismeinnicht' ( Forget-Me-Not)


The following is an alternative version of my poem forget me not (vergismeinnicht) a different entry has been entered into a competition with the theme of Spring:

Do not forget us in the Spring, the mountains of shoes
size one to five, that grew all year, as the tiny heads,
like small blue forget- me- not’s,
bowed in the breezes of spring-time,
our hearts beat to the drum of the earth
new and innocent, filled with promise,
of futures unknown, when they came.
Black Booted.
