Remembrance Day

Remembrance day---
The sound of the last post
Echoes through time.

Silent lament
The touch of teardrops---
Remember them well.

Hi Harry~ you and I are both writing of patriotism these days...a like this haiku and believe it is a lovely form to display your silent lament...it leaves room for the echoes after the last lines. :) Gwendolen
