I know these are not the standard way that Haiku poems are written but can they be written this way and still be considered poetry?
These are meant to be quick, little history lessons/reminders.
Walking home alone.
A foggy London evening.
Meet a man named Jack.
Floating in the sea.
Water, ice, people screaming.
Titanic sinking.
Archduke Ferdinand.
Murdered in nineteen fourteen.
World War One begins.
Thirteen thirty-six
Across Europe and Asia
Black Death starts spreading.
Nineteen forty-one
Japan makes fatal mistake.
Pearl Harbor attacked.

Howdy y’all. It’s me, ninong7 aka UJ aka John. Just a short intro about myself. I am a Texan that has retired in the Philippines. I moved to the Philippines with my wife back in May 2010. I am retired from the US Air Force. The music I like is mostly Classic Country and Classic Rock. I guess you could say that I am “Classic”. I play dominoes when I can find someone that will play, I play chess, cribbage, spades, hearts, Empire Builder, Rail Baron, Acquire and a few other games. I like to write poems and stories (although pretty novice) and I love learning about history, just about any history. I’m at home on my computer a lot but if I could afford to, I’d be traveling and documenting my travels to post in my blog. I hope to get to know a lot of you through PeakD and Discord.
