Here's my #PoemsAbout #Ceasefire contribution for this week.

Taking a break from my regular themes and unhealthy coping mechanisms, because there was no way this wasn't going to be political.

#PoetryForPalestine (more of it under this tag)

📝 Powerful poetry from Gaza’s children featured in West England Bylines.
Even in hardship, their words shine with courage, hope, and truth.
Read, share, and stand with their voices.

The drone’s buzzing sound,
the roar of an F-16,
the screams of bombs falling on houses,
on fields, and on bodies,
of rockets flying away—
rid my small ear canal of them all.
