Haiku from Yavoriv, Ukraine

The Inner Prop and I were part of Peaceshield '03 at the Yavoriv Training Area, Ukraine. Yavoriv is an utter dump of an old, very large Warsaw Pact base, with the city of L'viv about 40-50 minutes away. While there, 'Prop and I made some haiku about our experiences...

Bulgarians drink
We join them for just one shot
Wake up after barf

One Hrivna she says
Let go my damned arm you!
Go to school instead

Many nations march
Is it to battle they go?
Stand in sun for speech

Major John: my Ginny and Mark are in the Ukrane with the Peace Corps... Ginny is retired from the Air Force and now they are serving in a different way in Crimea.

Check out their journals sometime... very interesting perspectives!

Happiness.
