Why 1,575 haikus? Because my darlingest Annelies Marie Frank lived 15.75 years in this world.

Youngest and Brightest

A Salute to the Air Forces!

Thou art a shield, winged and indestructible.
From behind thee, all is steadfast and strong.
From before thee, the enemy is swift to flee!


Sea is connection
(limits, frontiers, reach)
and land is concentration
(mass, cohesion, momentum);
each, its own sphere.

Air is what surrounds
(agility, maneouver, distance)
and space, what fills and embraces -
(substance, information, truth)
thy sphere, envelops.

Together,
we defend!

Go team AFP, go PAF!

Of the spheres of military involvement, there are five - land, sea, air, space, and spirit (being the region that combines all spheres into one focused unity).
