This a fine entry for the Antonym contest
with solid opposites in war/peace
and excellent descriptive imagery of both in line two and three
that contrast the two words very well
Excellent use of alliteration
Nicely done
Best wishes in the contest

A fantastic example of this style of poetry you can't get more opposite than war and peace. A powerful poem thank you so much for sharing a thought provoking read.

Yes, this is why Jesus was to be the cornerstone of the church. Because He was Peace. A wonderful antonym entry. Much better than the book, ha ha, blessings...

Excellent antonym poem! Great alliteration with "bring boundless blood and blight" and "compassion, compromise and cornerstone." We sure need to work for peace!

The antonym contest has been full of fun reads and great contrasts between the words. You did a good job with this one; I can only hope that we see more of the peace than war.

Comment from Dean Kuch
Not only is this a condensed, consolidated and concisely accurate downsizing of Tolstoy's epic novel, War & Peace, but is is also an excellent example of an antonym.
Good examples of alliterative phasing here as well.
Best of luck to you in the contest.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written Antonym poem. War is caused by hatred and only cause destruction.
While compassion and compromises leads to peace.
