Wow you are really enjoying making pictures. You are doing great at it. Your haiku had a great start. I would put a different ending though. I left you soupmail. Hope you see it. Goodnight, dearie. 3 am is getting to be my bedtime

I feel lucky never to have experienced war. I love the expression in the eyes of that horse!

He was hoping the horse would buck him off -- Good one, CayCay.

It's meant to imply the horse, while sensing much, has no clue what he's in for, while the man does. I'd not only pee, I'd turn my horse around. I'm not sure haiku is coming off as I intended. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Wow, love the ending. Could be me in a war. Love to Kyle.

I feel sorry for him. Armies have office jobs too. Your haiku is very different. I like the style

I know, my Dad was a Quartermaster in the Army. I also know that if on a battleline, I would wet myself and the horse! Thanks for commenting, Hilda - just an off the wall thought. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
