Soldier Haiku by °euphoria:iconeuphoria:

Categories Literature > Poetry > General Poetry > Haiku & Eastern


My sword is greatly wearied;
bloody and tarnished
with spit from the defended.

Author's Comments

I love haiku because it's open to so many interpretations, and can say so much in so little. Rather than explain what the poem is about, I'll let you figure it out. =) (Smile)

Great lines; well presented as a haiku. I see how thankless a soldier's duty can be. Not only do they have to face against the enemy, but also criticism from the very people they have sworn to defend. It definitely makes you think.

I'm not much on haiku normally, but I like this one.

One other thing I need to say; Thank you.

Forgive your enemies. It messes with their heads.

Well worded. It often is a difficult task to have haiku pack a punch like this does. There is only so much room to bring a point across, but you did this just fine! :) (Smile)
