Haiku 1 Age 23

please stop please stop
adding to the killing fields
please stop why not why

*****

Thank you again to all those who are supporting me through my Easter Series of works. I feel…humbled by your response, I don’t think I will ever get used to it, as I worked for so long on my own, a typical reclusive artist!

For this Easter Monday 2023 I am adding another in my series of Haiku Poems, and as a special bonus, a Grail image and poem to complete this series. It did not seem right to have an Easter Series without one of my Grail works to me!

This image for my Haiku poem also comes from Ocklynge Cemetery in Eastbourne, Sussex UK, like the other works in this Easter Series.

Ocklynge Cemetery has quite a few war graves, and although this is now a ‘closed cemetery’ in the sense that it is now full to any new burials [unless you have a family plot] there remain many who still visit their relatives in this predominantly Gothic Victorian cemetery, when those who lived and worked in Eastbourne founded it as a flourishing seaside resort. The graves and memorials celebrate lives right through and past the World Wars, and from what I could see up to the 1970’s and 1980’s. I may amend that information, as I find out more in future visits I hope to make.

Until then….I thought this young man from the Royal Sussex Regiment in the first World War deserved to be remembered.

This is paired with ‘Carry You Home’ by James Blunt.
