Toward our forever.
A poem for him
The warmth of your skin radiates,
The softness of your voice permeates,
Your sweet kiss pervades,
I bask in all I have with you.
Your soul is tied to my own,
In song, we share,
In dance, we know,
In promise and trial we recognize.
Your aches were designed for my softness,
My worry and woe for your strength,
My hand rests perfectly in yours.
My heart feels safe in your hands.
Our future is our own,
We choose our tomorrow's, today.
With hands interlocked and hearts aware,
We move in tandem toward our forever.

NAZIS IN AMERICA
In May of 1945, amidst the collapse of the Third Reich, high-ranking Nazi engineer Wernher von Braun reached out to the US government, aware of his strategic value due to his role in developing long-range ballistic missiles. Von Braun's proactive approach highlighted the beginning of Operation Paperclip, a covert initiative aimed at recruiting German scientists to the US before they fell into Soviet hands. Over the course of 17 years, Operation Paperclip facilitated the relocation of over 1,500 German scientists to America, disregarding their Nazi affiliations and potential war crimes.

Winner's Circle: Prompted #3
INTRODUCTION Prompted: #3 is over and done with. There were a total of 7 entries for this challenge, just like with Prompted #2. That was a bit surprising, considering this was a poetry challenge. The first poetry challenge garnered much more attention. Of course, one way to look at the drop in participation is that Vocal writers are not fans of the rondel.
