The Battle Raged (Battle Poem by Clive Blake) Phoetry – Visual Poetry – Concrete Poetry - Poetry


The battle raged,
The arrows flew,
We were brave, but
We were few.

Out numbered,
Out fought,
Out flanked,
Out thought.

An arrow sought,
An arrow found,
I took the brunt,
I hit the ground.

In animate,
In pain,
In jured,
In vain.

Soldiers rarely say die,
Soldiers rarely grow old,
But my body grows weak,
But my body grows cold.

Ex pired,
Ex haled,
Ex tinct,
Ex ... failed …

This 'phoem' is titled "The Battle Raged (Battle Poem by Clive Blake)” Phoetry – Visual Poetry – Concrete Poetry - Poetry,
from the 'Phoetry Book', View Points and Points of View".

I describe Phoetry as a fusion of poetry and photography.
I came up with the Phoetry concept in 1994.
Phoetry can also be described as Visual Poetry and loosely described as Concrete Poetry.

The poetry is by Cornish Poet Clive Blake cliveblake.deviantart.com/
