Born a war baby
Reputations will be smeared
Legacies remain

Haiku: Birthday
Tag: poem
Tanka: Debriefing
Where do I begin?
My mind has always been clear
You have been sheltered
A weak and parched survivor
You take one drop at a time

Haiku: Hurt Inside
I saw you today
I could not make myself known
It still hurts inside
copyright Francis Barker 2020
Tanka: Awoken
I was awoken
Truth hit me like a great weight
The old world was gone
Legions of ghostly soldiers
Gathered to deliver truth

Haiku: New Dawn
These days of darkness
A single light leads the way
A new dawn breaking
