Haiku poems about war


Conflict makes us hate
We wish our enemies dead
Because we hate them


We are all now dead
Last thing we saw was fire
From the massive bomb


Smoke rises over there
A village is torn apart
From the mortar fire

A soldier lies dying
His flesh is rent by bullets
Another dead man


Bitter cold battleground
Soldiers cling to cold rifles
But the blood runs hot


We wait here at home
Hoping our heroes return
From the distant lands


A makeshift grave here
Just a crude memorial
To a casualty


Planes roar overhead loudly
Strafing with their machine guns
Ripping both men and ground


Marching rank and file
We walk in step with others
We fight together
