    This haiku reminds me of a young boy getting talked into joining the army. What did you write it about?

    trena - had it been my house and not my ex-wife's house, birdshot would have been an option.

    haikugirl - this is about my son Josiah, who joined the marines last Wednesday. his recruiter picked him up and drove him to his swearing-in ceremony in a shiny new sports car.

    oh, Josiah, Josiah...

    Special - life and death are still abstract ... my thoughts will continue to be with you and your family ... mind's eye everyday, i will see him coming home, safe and sound ...
