just outside the portico doors,

Phil Gennuso Arts

War torn and desperate
Janine waits
behind a wall of grief

The fractured glass
on her windowpane
reflects her bitter tears

*************************************

We are living a famine of peace in our time. Let’s think of how many places in the world are scourged by war, in particular of war-torn Ukraine. Let us roll up our sleeves and continue to pray for peace!

Pope Francis Nov 20 2022

*************************************

Janine is a fictional person I use to try to tell the story of Ukraine in my poems and art work. This story, as painful as it is, must be kept alive.

The Cold Moon of December
shining bright in Gemini

A clear harbinger of the coming Winter
a bold touch of Nature’s magic

***************************************
The full moon of December was named the Cold Moon by the Mohawks, an indigenous people of North American, mostly from New York and Canada. This year the December full moon was in the constellation of Gemini.
