Two poems and a quote

“Red” by  yours truly

Red clouds over low horizon this morning.

Over foothills nearby, a bit surprising.

They remind me of the 1980s movie “Red Dawn”

That helped inspire my action fiction

“Invasions: A Novella of Military Conflict.”

World War Me.

“Puppy” by yours truly

My sister called first love

In adolescence “puppy love.”

A woman dated in my 30s

Said her Mom nick-named her Puppy.

She almost began crying while saying it.

A para-quote

I don’t have the exact quote now, but W.B. Yeats wrote something like rhetoric is debate with others and poetry is debate with yourself.
