A little micro nonfiction from Vietnam Veterans

0

At recent meeting of the war memoir writing group at the Miami Valley Veterans Museum, I introduced the participants to an approach poet Anna Caters uses which I call creative non-fiction micro-fiction with American haikus. This is a rather long descriptor; however, it explains that these veterans were recording experiences from their military lives with a few words (I advised using 100 or fewer although micro can be up to 300), The story is then followed by an American haiku in which the author may express a reaction to the story using three lines of poetry. Japanese haiku use syllables in the lines as follows, 5,7,5, and usually have an image from nature. We Americans are independent rebels and do whatever we like, but we usually use three short lines.
