the heroes of war
with medals
lay on yonder field

A void of Facebook
Creativity dies here...
Procrastination!

Cries for peace heard loud 
War mongers, rifles lifted 
Silence established!

darker than raindrops
mushroom cloud blooming purple....
I can see my bones

purple heart on wall

coffin's flag furls in fall wind –

   day to remember



*Entry for Deborah Guzzi’s Holiday Haiku contest in honor of Veterans Day

Near Saint Avold, France,
More than ten thousand heroes
Whisper from the soil.

They all have their guns
Aimed at the face of freedom
There's nowhere to run.

God’s love they say preach
Enlightenment to bring wish
Darkness them follows!

Highlander so tall,
Dwarfs warriors in battle;
Brave heart of Scotland.

War…
     By Dane Smith-Johnsen

War is good for greed.
Hatred!  Repugnance.  And death…
It reinstates need.

Wild galloping horse
Berlin nineteen forty-five
Hoof pounding the Earth

Tulips crimson lips
Tulips straight erect flying
Share the same war zone

Gunfire lit the clouds
as the weeping sky shed her
tears on Flanders Fields

The path to your peace,
Is not to lay down your arms,
But hold them outstretched.

Abandon your wars,
Your sacred prejudices,
To live born again.

In another's arms,
Surrender yourself to love,
And peace will find you.

be at peace not war
give love a chance to adore
touch another heart

tug-o-war of sand
   underneath frothing footprints —
          swashbuckles the sea

DEATH SO FINAL
~~~~~~~~~~~


death... so final
makes one feel inadequate
life moves on

war graves
they died for what... world war three...
Trump... be ashamed...

vibrant poppies sway
timeless across flanders field
~ ageless tears of blood

Clear was Ukraine's sky

Drops of rain started to fall --


Angels' bitter tears!*

Haiku

In call to duty,
Many gave some, some gave all.
Mission accomplished.

War is a monster—
A destroying Godzilla:
No peace left behind.

Rappers represent
Modern day correspondents
In the hip-hop age

Producers present
Orchestrated sound agents
Musical front page

psychedelic drugs
population explosion
making love, not war

look where I am 
in the memory of a massacre 
human against human

a beauty untold
a faith untold to the weak
faith I've never met

Pacific Island
upon the living room wall
silent faces cry.

delicate blossom
rests in the still gnarled hand
bruised petals weep tears

weary eyes open
tiny cuts, the body bleeds
peace still years away

sun rise breaks the hill
heralds another battle
draw your sword and charge

Trisha Sugarek, 2011
From The World of Haiku

carefree summer night
recalling the fireworks fuse…
Déjà vu to Vietnam

For the fireworks haiku contest and dedicated to all vets who suffer from PTSD.

We share a bond
You rejected bird hunting 
I rejected war

chemical attack
black eagle preens elegance
flight of the damned

A gentle wind asks
Answered, simply, why not still
Said family grieve




.

the horror of war

 devastating mushroom cloud

          over Hiroshima

 heavenly angels   
warring against dark forces --
blackened feathers fall

for SKAT's Haiku Feathers contest

old river flows hushed
blood and tears, silent weeping  
children are slaughtered

this time is an art of floating rhymes 
where my ears seek harmony of heart 
against War of Worlds and their fears
