"Unity" ~

As we're gearing up for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Russia, I thought I'd share a poem I submitted in 2012 to "Forward Poetry" based in the UK.  The theme was to write a poem inspired by the 2012 Summer Olympic Games held in London.  They liked my piece & included it in a compilation of poetry titled "The Summer of Sport".  I was thrilled!
Here is "Unity"...




UNITY



Sacred, pure colors, the ideal texture of
Union Jack illuminated prideful appreciation.
Tangible peace felt throughout world-wide networks
Celebrated, agreed to by all mankind...
            For awhile

Colossal strength, poise, dedicated work
Prove their privilege, their deserved honor.
Nations entwined  as one, gracious and grateful
These guests of London, determined to represent...
            The world

Athletic battle amongst countries joyously received
Applauded and embraced, camaraderies, not enemies.
No weapons used in this battle, no one is at war
We are all humans capable of sportsmanship, capable...
            Of Peace
