For two word challenge - using the entire list of words (though Pearl Harbor is just the title, but hey, that counts, right?).
The Great War
becomes in this moment
forever less Great.
This is World War
two, the second episode
in an ongoing series.
Planes release
their explosive pearls
into the unsuspecting harbor.
Letters home
will write of the bugle boy
playing taps;
of the soldier's memorial tune
set against the backdrop
of chaos and smoke.
Of spying in a sailor's glassy eyes
reflections of star dust
young crazy love,
his family recipe for pie
Of the divine temptation
to curse the enemy
with dying breaths.
Of the relative merits of death
as a sacrifice
as a euphemism for 'going home.'
