from the name “broken family” and after reading this, it paints a sad dreary picture of an abusive family.  That is if I interpreted it correctly.  Am I right?  Anyways, I really like this.  good job.

Cold war casualties
Baby boom generation
caused by selfishness

You prompted my thought. How sad that you are so right! Well done.

I love the simplicity of this heavy message. This struck to the core. I have no criticism for this piece as it lay perfect for me. I will add it to my favorites. Thank you.

First attempt at reviewing haiku so please bare with me.

The middle line seems to let the other two down. I’m not sure what that means because you would only take prisoners, not corpses, in a war. It’s probably just me.

I think the middle line should be where the action happens, some message, something to connect casualities of wars and the walking wounded. I think a more specific image or detail, without being explanatory, could help this haiku have more of an effect. Something about the prisoners?

I don’t know if you’re done, or adjusting with feedback, but I hope this helps in some fashion.

i think “casualties” is 4 syllables, making line 1 too long. right?
