transports appear to
blossom in great yellow flames -
minesweepers next time?

My airplanes take off
They fly very far no bomb
fly home many crash.
I sent submarine
to patrol hex off Lunga
it hit mine and sank
Erik is very lucky
I can not count up to eight
Zuikaku go home

Brave Captains
Who fail to retire
In death, forgiven?

Heavy rain falls down
Clouds of bombers overhead
High explosive rain
Night when I once slept
Seems a long time ago now
Soon my eyes fall out

Poets great have we
Of warfare naval lore
Plum blossoms falling

Night when I once slept
Seems a long time ago now
Soon my eyes fall out
I can relate.

samurai bands in
vessels amid darkness
fear looks within
sunbursts begin and end
in the beat of a bird's wing
arrows of fire seek the heart
the songs of death we hear

Dengue, dysentery
Damp dank jungle dripping dark
Lunga may call you
Nice!

Ships over the horizon
Away all aircraft!

The dark sky beckons
whispers of light, reflecting
morning light on wing
Just a thought:

My knife moves quickly
Cutting open my stomach
Help cut off my head

A swift stroke does it
I hope it did not hurt much
No more bad Haiku
(actually I liked it even if it was not politicaly correct)
Har de har haiku

No need for sorrow
no sepuku at this time
haiku made me laugh
You keep um coming
I'll read them one at a time
maybe we will laugh out loud

Sand in battle dress
Itchy legs
Noseeums unseen
jungle rot works fast
lunch returns
spam sandwich gone bad

The coffee is cold
No more cigarettes to smoke
Where are those carriers?
I dream of cold beer
17s are the worst thing I know
Ports are not safe now
