    It would be so nice if the whole world could just kiss and make up!

    Theatre is a strange word to describe the scene of battle I always think but with your image of play figures it makes perfect sense.

    A jumble of toy soldiers is a great image of “theatre of war.” And the “kiss and make up” line evokes some childhood argument, resonating with the toy image. Plus, you simply make a good point. Well done all around.

    For all those fallen it’s far to late to kiss and make up…War is just such a waste of humanity!!!

    There is a smile for the idea of kissing and making up but you are right there is no sense to the horrific acts of war.

    The photo brings back memories of when my brother was young…he loved to play with the little army guys.
    Love your poem.

    Awesome haiga Viv. With a very strong message to the world. Make love, no war … John Lennon was right.

    Difficult to argue with this. I do like the way you’ve presented this too – it is very effective: something to do with the way the image and words move together.
