    This one actually made me a little sad… it matches the photo perfectly.

    The photo really is a great image that magnifies the words.

    Will that young soldier’s ghost find his peace? A very sad haiku …

    Well done. I like the contrast between the action figure and the sombre words…

    A sad haiku … with an interesting photograph using a kid’s toy … takes the bite out of the poem at first but then induces one to deeper reflection … brava, well done.
