Flag Of Ukraine

Flag of Ukraine
Blue and cornfield yellow
Flapping with the slap of the wind
Across plains as flat as Kansas.
These names mean nothing:
A yellow river drains into a black sea;
A red sea seeks out a distant ocean.
We have made landfall in the crime of a country,
Wondering where else, how else, we can survive,
Forgetting we were ever taken by surprise,
Surprised by the trees' sudden green and the whiteness
Of the white stork.

[Coyote Poetry]

This is what poetry should do. You told a story and you educated the reader. Ukraine wheat, was worth a war for. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.
