Impressive, touching Haiku against war.

Thank you Ovidiu for reading my poem and leaving a comment. One reason why I like haikus is that they are very short. Maria Williams has a great series of related haikus.

Thank you Maria for reading my poem. It was a 'short exercise'.

the haiku poem made me think of a soldier standing in the rain - with many bodies around him - with his sword stretched out- very visual - with just a little bit of words 8-)

Thank you Verlecia for reading my poem. I like to listen to fantasy soundtracks when I'm on PoetrySoup.
