Miss Propagandist

[nibbed]

Quite a ride, there.  Moderns would assume the work is cynical or sarcastic until it becomes evident it's all of a piece and sincere.  Ultra-moderns would never budge from that assumption, against all evidence.  Non-moderns would recall that "propaganda" began as proselytizing or missionary work, it being the material to be disseminated; the cynical connotation came later (though not *much* later).

See also "nose art" of warplanes back before PC.  Never *quite* obscene since that would have dishonored the ship instead of empowering it.

Elegantly done.

Thank you for considering my poem and reading all the way through.
I had an opportunity to speak with a modern day nose art artist at
Willow Run who was painting in a hangar and that whole day was
wonderful. I need to get to the new museum they built there. Of course
this poem was about a different war, but I think you understand the
whole of it. Thanks again for reading my poem, liking it, and commenting.
