moments flutter by-
miserable pirouettes
are days and nights
neglected children-
spills from narrow shadows seen
from cloudy skies
forgotten laughter
stains resolute despair-
Armageddon sighs
for Hades decision
map the course of suffering-
wars and scourges

Each exquisite haiku is a gem alone. Taken together they offer a vision into a dying world. We are not there yet, I hope, not completely. I read dystopian science fiction with this kind of vision of what will be if people continue on their present course. Each has a touchstone--at least a small group--opposed. That is where this poem generates--in those--you--who offer hope.
ReplyDeleteAha! thank you for your appreciation

A well written poem. very evocative in the imagery.
ReplyDeleteHi Gillena, technically interesting, I thought this sparkled and worked well throughout - great read - thanks With Best Wishes Scott www.scotthastie.com
ReplyDeleteChildren in wartime are strange survivors. They adapt well because they are quick learners whilst parents grieve and starve while trying to feed them. Mankind alone maps the course of suffering. For all that Gillena you wordled well, please forgive me sharing my own opinions.
ReplyDeleteNegative thoughts if follow the scenario...hope for the better of our Earth... ~ Peace and Light ~
ReplyDeletethe 3rd haiku is my favorite. i can visualize that armageddon sighs. great write!
ReplyDeletethis though is so sad, it has to stop, we can stop it, I know we can, we have to
ReplyDeleteI too, like the third verse. Yet, all together these read like prophecy from long ago that has now come due...
