Certain Death in the American Promise to these Frontiersmen
Haiku for Pioneers' Peril
By T.R. TadhgPublished 4 years ago • 1 min read
No hope since the fire.
Great forests devastated
to seas of black trunks.
*
Eagle scours the hills
and hunts the ash of his prey.
His stomach turns black.
*
Wounded wagon train
crawls burnt hillside - red natives
lie in ambuscade.
*
Frontier horizon
burns Manifest Destiny
in dreamscape furnace.
