All these poems were originally published in The Heron's Nest. I chose to confine my search there not just for the quality but also for the convenience of its online archive.

Maybe the soldier is conveying to his hearing impaired wife through sign language.

And everything is fair in love and war. What a poignant and beautiful poem narrating invisible stories of love and war!!
Thank you Team!!
The best language so far! I have a deep interest to learn that and one day I may.

The "unsaid" in this poem leaves the reader wondering - not only about the outcome but about who is doing the signing. And why? Can the "speaker" not talk, can someone not hear? Is the relationship one that must be kept secret? With just a few words the poet has painted a poignant picture with multiple interpretations.
Writing with fingers other than on smartphones today... So very heartfelt, poignant and nostalgic. The invisible charm and the feelings captured here are delightful. Thanks for sharing!
