a haiku set written in response to the Great War's/World War I's slogan: 'the war to end all wars.'
war after war news
lengthening the morning chill
Remembrance Sunday
Remembrance Parade
shoulder to shoulder to shoulder
headless shadows
FYI: 'It was the British author, H.G. Wells, that coined the expression: 'The war that will end war' to describe World War One, which had broken out in Europe in September 1914. Wells believed the conflict would create a new world order that would make future conflict impossible.'
