FADED GREEN

Faded Green is an accumulation of blank verse poetry that explains situations and circumstances under which a frontline combat soldier experiences war. A post-traumatic stress disorder was one of the reasons this group of poems was put together. The poems indicate several different situations in which a combat soldier and a civilian thinks about what happened to them while they were in a war zone. Oftentimes, questions arise that cannot be answered. The only way is sometimes to just write out what you are thinking and try to express the feeling behind the question. For the general public and young people, these poems can be interesting ,but for the front-line combat soldier who has survived in the war, these poems may be healing. The soul can find no answer to waraEUR|
