Can you write a haiku about the war in Afghanistan?

Saturday, April 9th, 2011

I love haiku, simple and beautiful.

I will start, can you write one for me.

Khandahar road trip
landmine disaster, my boys
blacksmoke, desert sky

dude. find a different subject man . fisheies !! me!! butterflies or something peacful !

the scorching sunshine
offers no comparison
to the fire within

That's very entertaining..thank you.

Crying, covered mothers
Weep for lost sons
War forgives no one

I know we're not in voting yet, but I like jsunflower's answer a lot.

Haiku are supposed to capture a moment, not just comment.

A war far away.
This is a funny question.
Middle East conflict.

jsunflower's is really good… I know mine isn't "capturing the moment." give me a break. I suck at haikus.

body parts skyward
roasted brown earth
stink

Explosion of sand
tiny granules block the sun
all seem blind to peace

i like your icon
cowboy hat and air guitar
playing for the man

Bush really messed up
Hinesight is 20/20
We need to pull out

Someday we'll find Osama,
We'll get you back for 9-11
Afghanistan is ashamed
(the syllables are 7,9,7)

Rag Head Die bala
Durka Durka Jihad bala
balalalala
