Over a battlefield

Poetry & writing to me are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
Seems quite a contrast, doesn’t it? Beauty over a battlefield! Very well expressed.
Indeed it is contrasting, Mary. But its curious how contrasting things are there everywhere! 🙂
Loved the haiku for its starkly contrasting portrayal of war and peace!
Thanks, Zainab 🙂 Glad you loved it.
and hopefully a breathe in the fighting….moments of peace on the battlefield though are few and far between…beautiful leo….
Yes, Brian. Or hopefully, peace between the two sides too 🙂 Cheers!
Peace after a battle … but is it really peaceful?
Maybe, maybe not. Depends on the sides, does it not? 🙂 Thanks, Amrit.
Beautifully represented the antithesis.
Thanks, Sims 🙂
Nailed–completely. Love this.
Thanks, Susan 🙂

“I’m a lover not a fighter, on the war front with a poem.” This poem reminded me of that line. Peaceful piece.
Wow. That’s a nice line, Alex. Thanks for liking the haiku!
