Haiku

[Pete]

Burn Amerikkka

Silence sits waiting
Moon leaps into Earth’s shadow
Crimson marks it’s birth

Time comes in again
Feeling the darkness crumble
Silence of this class

Struggles cease to end
Compounded as days pass by
Stratification

Forging a weak life
Safety is now abandoned
Blood springs readily

Bodies stand weakly
Souls long since disappeared
Floggings in the night

America stands
Urinating on this world
“Heathens die!” they cry

Violence is their word
People answer with lifeblood
Void shatters, crumbles

Shot twice through the heart
Beating stops like a machine
Lacking gasoline

Silence now follows
The world remains swallowed
In fear of their bombs.

Beautiful post, CrazyPete. But -just wondering- is this one supposed to be a haiku? I mean, shouldn´t haikus be a specifical kind of poem of 2-3 verses only, and not several ones?

¡HASTA LA VICTORIA SIEMPRE!

[Pete]

each poem (as each is standalone as well as part of the whole) has 3 lines, 5,7,5 syllables

[The Final Attack]

Haiku should not be about war. It is a peaceful, cultural writing.

It is an art. Similar to proper poetry. Very deep.

I know because I follow the ways of the east.

The Catain serenity should be readable.

I know Final. But my mind was full. Here is some more.

A red dawn shines dimly
Crimson marks eternity
Of undying trees

Captured by the wind
Voices, silent and still, float
Trees talk to no one

Blasted in the sky
Ripples spread as leaves touch down
Leaves live forever

[chamo]

Those are really good, symbolic of war.
