Of a large apartment block.
On the edge of town...”(Kurama)

On the same frontlines.
How was it for a 22-year-old?
At least at the very beginning.
Fathers and sons serve.
On the same frontlines.

His father would face a different fate...»(Kurama)

"...Поклонюся Богам,
За здоров'ячко роду,
на зцілення Воякам:
Щоби кісточки укріплялися,
Як потрощені злим — ізросталися,
Щоб всі рани умить заживлялися.
А ворожі кістки розпадалися!"(Галина Римар)
"У нашому дворі,
Живуть котики малі,
Дуже милі та пухнасті,
І такі уже прекрасні.
Я на руки їх візьму,
І до себе пригорну,
Муркотять собі маленькі,
Голосочки в них тоненькі,
Хвостинятками махають,
Лапкою тебе торкають."(Тетяна Прокоф’єва)
"А осінь сипле листя нам до ніг,
Біль прикриває, вирви, ніби рани.
Вітрами сум жене, а на поріг
Гіркі й тривожні застеля тумани.
ґаздиня вже зібрала урожай,
Дарів чимало, хоч було і важко.
Егей, красуне, розфарбовуй край!
Єднать в палітрі кольори не тяжко..."(Тетяна Строкач)
"...І вся техніка ворожа
З курсу позбивалась —
Подалась на варварщину —
І там позривалась!!!
Мають нелюди віднині
Всі запам'ятати,
Що хорошую країну
Не можна чіпати!!!"(Галина Римар)

Of a long day.
The chief medic still chops the wood.

«After more than a week.
Of living in the freezer.
People are praying ‘orcs’ missiles.

Where he could bury his father..."(Kurama)

на світі завжди буде вільна Україна!

а серце крається: триває зла година..."(Алла Пахарь)
