“We escaped when.
We heard machine guns.
The fire was coming close.”
She fled the besieged town.
A resident fled Vovchansk.
With her family.
Who lived in.
A village nearby.
She had remained.
In Vovchansk when.
The ‘orcs’ first invaded.
In early 2022.
“We survived and.
Got used to it.”
Life improved when.
‘Elves’ forces returned later that year.
Life improved when.
‘Elves’ forces returned later that year.
But she said this new.
‘Orcs’ offensive “was very scary”.
“We escaped when.
We heard machine guns.
The fire was coming close.”
She fled the besieged town.
Thousands of civilians.
Have fled towards Kharkiv.
There are concerns.
Among ‘elves’ commanders.
About what could happen.
If ‘orcs’ troops get within.
Artillery-range of the city.
‘Elves’ army has said that.
‘Mordor’ has deployed.
“Significant forces”.
Up to five battalions.
In its latest offensive.
Earlier, ‘elves’ army had said.
Reserve forces were being moved.
To the Kharkiv region.
To reinforce its defences.
“We escaped when.
We heard machine guns.
The fire was coming close.”
She fled the besieged town.
*Because I read “Russia says troops enter border town near Kharkiv” by Jonathan Beale & Doug Faulkner on 13 May 2024, and also “Why are Ukrainians calling Russians ‘orcs’?” by James FitzGerald on 30 Apr 2022, on the BBC news.
So, I wrote this poem, including a story of Liuda.
