Haiku Style verses

[darkwolf]

These are a little dark and not long, but they just popped in to my head.

This one is about Gettysburg:

51000 lay on the bloody ground
Widows mourn in their empty home
Death has a field day

This next one has to do with a nuke going off:

A bright light and harsh wind
single entente clocked in black
alone the reaper weeps

I am not a poet, these just spilled out of my brain.

The very best poetry makes you write it.

[patience]

I visited Gettysburg 100 years after it happened and I could FEEL the awesome pain that happened there. Some people who visit say they have felt tugs on their clothing, seen things in the fields. I heard clicking and clacking noises in the Devil's Den, where a few sharpshooter's held off a mob of their enemies. Might have been the ones with Henry repeating rifles, "the gun you load on Sunday and shoot all week".

Awesome place, and as haunted as anything on the planet.
