slain men’s pain
rain sloughs into ground
all is death
fallow fields
autumn is without luster
wet leaves for tombstones
B & P’s Shadorma focuses on D.H. Lawrence’s poem, Autumn Rain. I chose war and pain, more than other themes, as a great-uncle was lost in the muddy, bloody no-mans land of Passchendaele; his body never found

In case you are wondering – my frilly freudian slip is two halves of one personae moving back into one brain together. Phylor and ADH [a darkened house] are now on the evolution or devolution of a new blog space, My Frilly Freudian Slip. Both blogs are still up should someone stumble upon them. If you were a follower (sounds a bit like a cult), check us out before recommitment. We hope it’s lively, and the we becomes I real soon. And thanks for the new rose icon.

Hello Phylor … you’ve chosen the sadder but probably more exact interpretation of Lawrence’s poem. In our times we tend to forget what the “Great War” was one of the most terrible experiences in European history … topped only by the Second World War.
I love the name of your new blog – very whimsical. I hope to get back into the blogging experience soon in the mean time it’s so nice to read your work. Hugs … Bastet

Nice to hear from you. I hope you are doing well.
WW1 gets overshadowed by the horrors of WW2, but a whole generation was lost, and the class system altered, Canada demanded more political freedom from Britain, the world changed forever.

And in a certain sense it was a horror in its own right but as you say it was a big catalyst for many events which shaped the world .. but also paved the way for WWII.

Thanks Candy — I was thinking of the war, and Lawrence’s plane leaves dead on the lawn.
