Poems - Good Riddance

Good Riddance

by vexations

Red, white and blue

waves good riddance

to evil

wrapped in white

and plunged below the North Arabian Sea;

The Most Wanted,

in a weighted body bag,

is buried among fish

and seaweed,

oceans away from the

ashes of the Twin Towers.

i agree with fogglethorpe here. The vowel sounds of Oceans, ashes, etc. are very good.

Did you mean to leave a comma after the last line?

A very thoughtful poem on the demise of a revolutionary.
For our own peace of mind... glad there will be no show trial.

Peace, Mary Ann

I've written a number of poems on this topic
and you've summed it all up neatly and
professionally, appropriate titling and
I agree totally

Best wishes
Ilan

G'day William...
Well written as a reminder to all those tyrants who still seem to be lining up to cause more havoc.
Thank you William
