War Haikus
Stars Sirens tore the skies. In the blackout, a little boy Finally saw stars. Smote Buried in the trench, In deep darkness, he looked up And saw EƤrendel. Escape Escaping prison, He returned back to the trenches: Home sweet home. Boom A mouse on a drone-- The pilot shakes it off, flies; Far off: a split scream. Deluge In the flooded trench, Shivering and laughing, the soldiers Point at the rubber duckie.
