#5 of Poetry

Written for a competition. The brief was 'inspired by a work associated with the First World War', so naturally I picked Snoopy vs. the Red Baron...

Below my little square of white  
Upon white fields, white poppies blow.   
White clouds surround my lonely flight  
Hanging black-bordered high and low.

Somewhere beyond the frame he flies  
Where the white air meets the white mud  
Waiting to blaze across my skies  
And trace his scarlet streak of blood.

Eternally elusive foe  
A figment of a figment's dream  
Bullets and curses noiseless flow  
You bank and turn to slip the stream.

The dogfight aces ceased their reign  
With all the heroes of their age  
But, doggedly, I still remain  
In motion on the yellowed page.
