Mu Cang Chai's rice terraces in Northern Vietnam.
a stunning beauty,
a breathtaking masterpiece
so nice rice terraces
viet nam is happening
his leg is gone
i am sorry i say
and thank you
for your sacrifice
it is not enough
but it is all i have
I thank my father
for his service in the Corp and
respect him fully
he sacrificed
coming home no warm welcome
Vietnam Marine
vietnam reflections 42
the enemy has breached the gate
no longer must you wait
to know him
he has been inside you all this time
Comic strip creature an Iron man
a super hero in Vietnam began
Fighting for good against evil
promoting 'issues' & giving a thrill
Hear…
before speaking the words
unwritten
Speak…
after writing the words
unheard
(Hotel Majestic Saigon, Vietnam: January, 2014)
i work with a man
from vietnam whose name is
Coo. Hi Coo's haiku
Shadows
Silent footsteps
Silhouetted streams flow
Ghosts of canopy stalk movements
Death's pall
(Vietnam: Search & Destroy mission)
she holds old photos
saved of husband's other life
while in the navy
Vietnam fifteen-year tour
never looked back with regret

swathe in red, white, blue
white rose buds, baby's breath quilt
soldier's coffin
old Vietnam veteran
recalls others the heroes

A very famous man named Noel
came from outer space i know well
an extra powerful man
after fought in Vietnam
built a famous tower named Babel
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.
Vietnam.
Six months is a long time,
six months here is a lifetime.
How i want to go home.
America may own my ass
but Charlie definitely owns the night.
Form:
Torned to a millions pieces many times,
Like a soldier in Vietnam fought with toes and nails,
Now my soul have retreated,
My fighting spirit have withered
Ten miles in awful shoes
Any worse than Vietnam?
You scare me
I hear through you
How close you must be now
Ten miles a day in awful shoes
I could be you
Was it worth it fecking Sinjin Hawke
When you could’ve been with Stringfellow?
But the lure of drugs in the Golden triangle
So much better and a guy with an edge
hippie movement
wasn't government
authorities were shoved
replaced by being loved
Vietnam Kent State
started all the hate
those days are long gone
my long hair days done
Guns, or
Bobby covered in Rosey Greer, or
Monterey Pop,
Or I'm one years old,
The Chicago 7, or
DNC, PR
Vietnam, or
The Man on Moon in Motion.
The Alarm sang 68 Guns.
most wanted lost list —
shy silver-backed chevrotain
this little mouse-deer
imagined in Vietnam
ungulate with hooves and fangs

Some came home…
but never came back
Some came back…
but never came home
Caught between
forever
And what forever
—had disowned
(Vietnam Veterans Memorial: March, 2020)
i cannot rest i cannot dream until my thoughts, they softly seem to drift on over drift away to dreamy landing and you sway. you whirling durvish of vietnam my silver bullet written on.

Abandonment is
Vietnam veterans
greeting card.
A door stepped baby.
Windowless
city structures
after resident's
suburbanized.
And me
a Christmas tree
after you undecorate.
SPINE: MOVIE AND SONG
Bridge on the River Kwai
Madison bridges,
war and peace...
red hell,
green, grass of home,
love and hate...
good morning vietnam
Saigon bride,
a time for us...!
January 27, 1973
I was sitting in the barracks
yelling and screaming echoed through the halls
sirens blaring, horns blowing, fireworks popping;
the war was over
