Alamo Dusk Poem by Lillian Susan Thomas

Nicely painted time lapse image. It reminds me of how I used to experience the Gettysburg battlefield. Layered.

A flashing moment of time blending present and past in a sharp, crystal image that harks back to an intensely dramatic and significant event in history. The poem is a jewel in which hue and texture move softly from brilliant sundown to blue dusk, from rage of battle to blue calm of white moonlight on the bones of those whose spirits still rest there. Very significant poem, beautifully crafted. It brings out the poetic significance of event, place, and history.

Sunset upon the martyrs: with its attack, Mexico made a colossal foolishness and paid its sin through the Revolution. However these suggestive lines make the feeling of past things very well.
