Give Peace A Chance ......Canada.....

It is cold, very cold
freezing temperatures
a mild drizzle
yet unmindful
she stands silently
like a statue
under the isolated tree

all about her come and see
why such depth of silence
they wonder who is she
so very sweet and lovely
fine
a veritable divine

her eyes don't blink
statue stark
into the daylight distant
rare vision
no one knows
where she is looking

yet her mission
is just to draw
a large searching crowd
who will come and see
her blankly
looking into eternity
towards the distant horizon
wilderness
mind totally blissfully absent

all come and shed a tear
many say smile, O dear
she has a silent demeanor
yet she conveys
why this war and trouble

Give Peace a Chance
A tear does trickle

Then ups her umbrella
Mission complete
It now snows incessantly
She's conveyed her message

The title draw me in and I wasn't disappointed.
There was sometimes some confusion if it's a real statue that yoy're talking about or a real lady untill the last stanza.
Thanks for sharing

who died years ago
they did not know ....until another lady wrote
she was her sister and her sister died at maybe 72 years age...
she was being then in those years deprived of journalism work

Hope now you will read it in the correct perspective

your explanation of the poem, I understand the similes. Some very fine lines: "rare vision, no one knows where she is looking". Sometimes, the fractured English gives me a pain, but I generally get the message. ~ Geezer.

Hello, Lovedly,
You've captured a very sober moment. Such a strong, but quiet act in the name of peace.

What comes to my mind I compose as
Free Style
being untrained in nuances of poetry
Along with Seren and Scribbler
perhaps I have been here the longest

And If you peruse poetry in Neo
over years you will note
FREE STYLE I only pressed
now it's all poets verse.

I am a born poet as a hobbyist started with what you call it
just slipped my mind
aware ie
Although
Well....\ah got it acrostic
then I did not know it ...till some one drew my attention to that specialty

Also I love Sonnetry but can't compose too complicated
an Aussie guy tried and kicked me
he flew from Australia
another USA PhD lady ..also tried and
may God bless her soul /SOLE
as I believe
we all are singularly ...
