Memorial Day Landscape Sunset Painting by Greg Cartmell | Saatchi Art

Bones lie where they fell,
bullets long buried silence –
each Spring poppies bloom.

Too many widows
stooped today, wilting at graves —
mourning doves take flight.

Uniformed, each Spring
they march Main in Everytown
trying to forget.

Frank J. Tassone is the host of Haikai Challenge.  Frank says:
This week, write the haikai poem of your choice (haiku, senryu, haibun, tanka, haiga, renga, etc.) that alludes to either Memorial Day or the rainbow (niji).
