A tribute to veterans.
Call To Arms by Douglas Goff
Tanka Poetry Contest contest entry

in the line of fire 

common men called forth to serve- 

veterans stand tall

no one ever left behind 

a brotherhood forged in war 


Author Notes
This is my first ever Tanka. I was not sure if it had to read as a single sentence.

Dictionaries show the word fire to be considered one syllable unless it is rhymed.
