Fuji, strong and tall.
By our own hubris and theft,
its strength fails and falls.

Past Lives
War made for odd couples. To Private Jim Mclellan, Sepp seemed a good man; better at least than some of the monsters he heard stories of deeper into the Reich. Real monsters. This Sepp almost reminded Jim of his uncle; the one from Wisconsin he met a few times at Weddings.

<3 A great one to reread!
And I read this twelve times, powerful lines
great haiku
Wonderful haiku with great meaning. However, if you do plan on submitting this to the Vocal Writing Awards by any chance, I just want to point out the last line is 4 syllables. I hope you find my comment well!
This was an incredible haiku. I reread it multiple times. Great job
That was pretty deep, Matt. So, glad it was shared.
Beautifully written.
Thought-provoking haiku.
One little haiku that says so much! I'm so glad Paul found it and shared so we can all enjoy it! Well done, Matthew!
Decided to pick something random by you to read. Will definitely dig into more dragon-based awesomeness soon, but this little haiku packs so much into it! Love it. That picture is awesome too!
