(NOTE: Each three line poem is a haiku)
–
Flowers, flags on graves
Veterans recognized again
The bugle echoes
–
People watch them march
Few remember what they do
History dying!
–
Viet Nam veterans
Are acceptable marching….
Many too far gone!
–
Old guys dying soon,
“The greatest generation”…
(Tom Brokaw said so.).
–
Picnics in the rain,
Rain-steamed hot dogs a delight…
Of city cousins!
–
All the battles fought,
Soldiers faced severe onslaught…
Some did not come home!
–
Europe remembers
The sacrifice we forgot!
(Poor education).
–
Bugles echo “Taps”,
Stand at attention for them
Who did sacrifice!
–
Faith is not dead here,
We forget…freedoms are lost…
Must resist…and win!
–
