I
have written haiku from what I have experienced in my life.
Things that are very important to me: family, the military,
and friends. Being in the military has forever changed my
life.
the
flag covered coffin
running through my head
NO!
in
a straight row
perfectly shined boots
soldiers obey
two
green hats
one from one war
one from another
duffel
bags packed
last sleep in a bed
duty calls
the
hearse stops
I tremble with sadness
longing for one more minute
church
bells ring
rice in her hair
miles from home
