The Color Brown

When I was deployed to Iraq, I tried my hand at writing to pass the time.  I came across these haikus, and thought they were still pretty funny - and valid, here in Afghanistan:

The Color Brown (#1)

Brownish sand and dirt

as far as the eye can see.

At least Mars has hills.

The Color Brown (#2)

It's been two months now.

The same color as doo-doo.

This is getting old.

The Color Green (#1)

Little green bushes,

Why are you growing here, small?

Rain won't come, yet hope.  

The Color Brown (#3)

Here's a brown puddle,

in the middle of the sand.

Defiant, proud, wet.
