Brothers in Arms

by Joe Walters

Three lines, no punctuation, sounds simple, right? That’s what I though until I sat down and tried it. When you read haiku, you’re looking for those poems that surprise you and make you sit down and just think about what you just read. So, as haiku author’s we are looking to make folk’s contemplate and digest. We want to make your senses say, “wow”! My favirote haiku have a twist and bring back memories from a time past that is only alive in our memories.

Think about the following Haiku as you read them, you will find that most have a deeper meaning than the words themselves. I try to make you think about the story behind them, not just the meaning of the words. Enjoy.
