Battle




darkness black as night
swathes the hopeless wounded soul
battles ne’er be won

    An extremely well crafted, albeit sombre haiku.

    This charcoal battle sketch reminds me of the prose of Morte d'Arthur. Chilling, and well done!

    I think we can all relate to being that "wounded soul" when darkness comes into our lives sometimes.

    Great work!

    I closed my eyes and imagined a young soldier in the dead of night hearing cannons booming and bullets flying by and I shuddered. War -- an awful thing.
