Allepo
Where is the sense in their oppression?
A despot bent on destruction
would ensure they have no voice.
Victims in their own homes
they fight to survive,
doomed to suffer
as they choose
to be
free.
This nonet is my response to The Secret Keeper’s Weekly Writing Prompt #68, with the prompt words sense, fight, free, voice & choose.
Nonet ~ a poem of nine lines and a syllable pattern of 9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1, with rhyme optional

I’m still thinking about Aleppo too. Too many questions, too few answers or explanations. (K)
