  A sextet is a group of six. You may write poems composed of six lines on the ongoing conflicts worldwide, including Ukraine and the Rohingya genocide among others. To start the conversation, I share my sextet.
  
  War Child
  
  we are unaware of our standing
  
  when your smile is silent,
  
  such silence is bitter as wormwood
  
  and deeper than dark woods.
  
  how can we save the spirit
  
  of your beauty without you?

  Dustin, Thank you for this movini:g and poignant poem about which so many are forgetting or have already forgotten
  I love the title War Child as it demonstrates the tragic clash between innocence and the catastrophe that belongs to a not-so-innocent world.

  The Donbas Conquest
  
  Toed away from blurry sky;
  To our kins, we bid goodbye
  As we left the white kolas
  On the soil of doomed Donbas…
  
  Dreadful rain and thunderstorms
  Weed away our wheat and corns…
