POETS IN KUPIANSK

‘Elves’ forces have entered.

The key eastern town of Kupiansk.

As their rapid counter-attack makes.

Further gains.

 

Kupiansk is a vital supply hub.

For ‘orcs’ forces in eastern Ukraine.

The town fell a week after.

February’s invasion.

 

As well as gaining ground.

In the east.

Ukraine is also making gains.

In the south.

 

Ukraine was seeking.

To capture Kupiansk.

And slowly encircle thousands of ‘orcs’ troops.

Near the nearby city of Izyum.

 

On Friday afternoon, “We’re moving forward.”

Commander of ‘elves’ armed forces wrote.

“We clearly know what we are fighting for.

And we will definitely win.”

 

‘Gandalf the Green’ said his forces are.

“Gradually taking control of new settlements”.

And “returning the ‘elves’ flag and protection.

For all our people”.

 

Footage appeared to show ‘orcs’ forces.

Being flown in to defend Izyum.

After the nearby settlement of Balakliya.

Fell to Ukraine.

 

Despite optimism in the east.

‘Gandalf the Green’ observed that.

“Fierce battles” have continued.

In the Donbas.

 

‘Elves’ forces have entered.

The key eastern town of Kupiansk.

“We clearly know what we are fighting for.

And we will definitely win.”

 

 

*Because I read “Kharkiv offensive: Ukraine enters key town as counter-attack gathers pace” by Matt Murphy on 10 Sep 2022, on the BBC News, and also “Why are Ukrainians calling Russians ‘orcs’?” by James FitzGerald on 30 April 2022, on the BBC news.
So, I wrote this poem.
Please read the original story and look at the photos on the BBC news:
