The undiminished memory

I love Haiku.  Simple, short, but full of emotion.  My first haiku wasn't so creative, but i polished of my skill and wrote this poem for an ela assignment in grade eight.  I then wrote a series of haiku to follow the first haiku written and it became a story with not just a simple message.  I hope you all enjoy this poem.  I wrote it a while ago, but poems do not fade with time.

In this battlefield

Sakura flowers tumble

As the wind whimpers

Once was a garden

This field full of Sakura

Was before this war

Graveyard of bodies

It is a land of sorrow

Now the sky sheds tears

I live on that field

Sakura flowers still bloom

Survived through that war

We pray before bed

Our backyard is our temple

We grieve for lost souls

Sleeping – it haunts us

No memory is needed

It affects us all

That's all for today~!
