Ukrainians we, or: Survival as one

A heart-felt composition and great presentation!

Survival as one …. by David

A collection of ‘lanturnes’

we sing of our nation’s survival as one	one people united against Russian rape	rape our land violate our existence force
force shall not triumph here on our forebears’ land	land sustains the culture of ancestors home	home demands commitment on all our parts now
now our troops must withstand this disastrous war	war was waged upon us still we remain free	free to live without fear Ukrainians we

#TankaTuesday

This collections of lanturne poems was written as an ekphrastic response to the image below, which I offered to Colleen Chesebro for her weekly Tanka Tuesday syllabic poetry prompt.
