9. Fading Away

My Marine Corps RVN 1966.

Link to my 1966-67 Viet Nam USMC tour blog (short stories and linked haiku)

 

 

 

vented adventures

from hardened participants

of another time

 

encounters evoked

weapons of their age recalled

fallen remembered

 

forever preserved

the horrors and the raptures

delivered by war

 

sharing sensations

Warriors pause to reflect

long ago conflicts

 

feeling envious

of others who continue

this lasting poem

 

Andy Syor
