The war is over!“

      Which general was That?

      • Norman Flagtea

        I wish I could tell you. Thank you for your comment/question...

        One can hope. although it's actually a senryu simply because it focuses on emotion rather than imagery just to help you. Haiku is about nature and imagery of nature. ❤️ in any case a lovely thought

          Dear Teddy san! Thank you for your friendly comment. And you are quite right about Haiku - Senryu. My mistake...

          Interesting how a few lines can create a whole imagined scene for the reader... I see thousands of tired dirty scarred warriors drop their shields in a pile and begin to trudge home to their fields and families.

            Dear jarcher! Your reaction made my day! Isn't that why we write poetry: to evoke thoughts and emotions like yours...?

          • Lorenz

            The order of seasons
            5 3 7
            no emotions

            • Norman Flagtea

              Thank you for your reaction! Can you please explain a little further: what does 5 3 7 refer to...

              • Lorenz

                sorry I mean a structure of 17 syllables (5 .7.5 ) in 3 lines
                jump the tree frog
                in the meditation
                jolly chatterbox
