War Haiku - another take

Quiet in trenches
Orders followed, carnage left
Shadows of the dead

In sunflower field
An abandoned violin
Refugees fleeing

Born for the combat
Blasts of gun fire, fierce ambush
Tin soldiers at war

Thank you Rob, haiku is quite restrictive for a topic like this handshake

Yaspark, keen thoughts to ponder here, divine imagery too. The 5-7-5 Haiku gives you more options. Keep going you are doing great! SM applause cheering

Protests:
Anti vaxxers get
together in the streets and
shout. Who cares? Not I

Police on horses
Raucous rioting fighting
I'll look after me!

You do as you will
I as I and wear a mask
Not you? I care not.
