thrusting aside fear
coward emerged a hero
in spite of himself
***
revered for actions
cowards shrink leave for heroes
the half-mast banner
***
remembered brav'ry
hero stands tall coward weeps
in his own remorse

RonovanWrites #Weekly #Haiku #Poetry Prompt #Challenge #216 Hero&Coward
Ronovan Hester has given haiku creators two great prompts for his blog hop this week. I will be linking my haiku to his site, RonovanWrites #Weekly #Haiku #Poetry Prompt #Challenge #216 Hero&Coward. Only one haiku is needed to link up, but I just couldn't stop writing. Guidelines can be found on his site. I'm looking forward to reading your haiku for this prompt.
One must face fear to gain honor. Victory without facing fear is a hollow gain!
