Today, for Haibun Monday, Frank Tassone at D’Verse Poets, has prompted us with ‘Memorial’ as today is Memorial Day in the US.
When I think of the armed services, the memory it invokes for me is a visit to France many years ago. My mother’s first husband was killed in the D Day invasion in Word War II and was laid to rest in Bayeux, Normandy. We went with little information other than his name and regiment but thanks to the kindness of the French we found the cemetery and his grave easily.
I will never forget the miles and miles of crosses and markers throughout the French countryside, and how many had laid down their lives or us all.
Wreaths of red poppies
In honor of those who died
Lest we forget them

An effervescent
Ingredient of piffle
Abominable!

The Word Prompt Gods were just not playing fair today. I thought and thought but was not inspired by any of the four presented.
This is the best I can come up with today in the form of an Im-prompt-u Haiku! I’m sure you will all do better than this. Have a great day!
