    I think this is beautifully done. It has a simple style and yet you can feel so much from it. The ending is perfect, it aches. Lovely job. Thank you for sharing this with me and best wishes to you in all of your endeavors. Keep that quill dipped in ink and ever ready for use dear poet.

    so, what i am getting from this is that if you desire peace you must have some who are willing to pay the price and that only after we have lost can we know peace... right?

    It's simple, dark, and powerful. I'm always impressed by how much someone can express in a Haiku, because Haiku's are just so short. But it all just came together after I finished reading it. I wasn't even expecting line 2, and line 3 hit me out of nowehere, but it was like a puzzle being put together. By the end, I just was...yeah wow.

    I like this a lot. It says so much in so few words. I too love the form of this writing, simply because the writer is forced to be creative with what he or she can come up with, AS WELL as tell a story. Wonderful writing here that was visually very strong indeed. Keep writing. This was good.

    All the best

    I liked it,although I feel that less common words could of set this poem off amazingly.
    Although this is good,try using other words then blood and tears.Just a suggestion.

    excellent write, I enjoy these poems cause a little says so much, if I could suggest one thing it'd be that a haiku usually pertains to nature so technically what you have here is a senyru, the only reason I know this is because someone pointed it out to me on a poem that I wrote, but none the less it is a great write and I truely enjoyed the read.

    Three little lines can say so much, and this poem proves that sometimes, less is more. There are so many things that this could mean, Christmas, covering sadness? Your work really make me think, and I love that

    keep it up

    This is the very reason i do not write haiku's.
    I could never compete with the perfection that this is.
    the images are fearsome and upsetting they are so powerful.
