TOY SOLDIERS

Look its toy soldiers
in plastic bags all mixed
up together, some forest green,
others khaki tan, some kneeling
with rifles some leading
the platoon to battle some
holding grenade launchers
some motioning a hearty
salute of victory some in
a thrust-and-parry motion
with their rifles some motioning
towards the enemy some dead
and one writing a letter
home to his wife and smiling
at the little daisy in the letter
his wife wrote to him to tell him
how much
she missed him and all the
wonderful things they would
do when he came back We
can go dancing and the beach
and bowling LOVE LOVE LOVE
she writes she writes LOVE
Mary P.S. This daisy made me
think of you I mean it please
please come home soon Your
wife, Mary
