In The Sand (6 Haiku)

The blood of the innocent calls...




Weeping travail
Ancient Ottoman divides
The vineyard suffers

Ottoman’s children
play deadly games in the sand
Childish ways die hard

To the sea you go
An ocean of blood awaits
Harsh promises die

Fools play in the sand
keeping dead men’s promises
Death is their reward

The young live to die
Defending a sleeping god
Innocent blood weeps

The sweetness of death
divinely mixed with nature
calls each homeward bound

So much power here Lori, truth also. In between life and death, live to your hearts fullest and try to do it positively. Don't waste time on foolishness. Yes we do in youth. Age kind of simmers us to life. Live to be a nice old age, time in a minute of joy will count more than years. You'll be in "FragrantLove3" on my site. I'll probably write it tonight. L&p G

A cascade of images tied together in death's embrace, unsettling until the last ku, where there is some surcease from the ache of innocence dying. :)

As you know Lori, I love haiku. I appreciate what you have written not only because of the form but the meaning, the emotions and the imagery supporting it are just so! Love and peace to you. Regis

Some are homeward bound not by blood but by love. Each sees a different sight when one thinks of home. Sometimes, if we are lucky,
homes loses its bloody image, and at least turns a shade of grey in our minds and hearts. Lori there are more people in this world who love you than who hate you. Many at AD find you a very sweet person, including myself, and only want the best to happen in your life. Your friend Bill

Lori this is perfection....it's one reason
why I don't write Haiku unless I am making a
comedic fun of it...because I can't do it well..

I happen to love the last one....it makes
grief bearable...

I think this is the best haiku I have ever read. You have topic, words, emotions and many other things working this write to a perfect ending. I hope that wasn't to much. :)
