Is this a good haiku poem to use for a Vietnam Memorial assignment?
I decided to use a haiku poem to describe the impact that the Vietnam Veterans Memorial had on me. I saw many pictures of the never ending wall and was amazed at the design of the shiny reflection staring back at the visitors. Looking at the photos, I saw symbolism in that when people visit the wall and look at the names of the loved ones they lost, the reflection reminds them that the soldiers are always inside them.

I don't believe a haiku is such a great idea for a memorial poem. Usually a haiku is meant to represent something leading to nature and stillness. It's a great haiku but it doesn't have much impact because it's so short. maybe you should try something a little longer with more meaning and impact.
