Haiku and Senryu With the Japan Tremor In View

Their eyes well with tears Tremors have crushed tomatoes In Kunamato Waves of the earth howled Successive days and nights rolled Crisis loom in soul Quake flattens houses Southern Japan collapses The serpent hisses Souls shake in Ozu Our dear friends we feel for you Time weeps in pain-dew Our deep sympathy From Soupers empathy too The world is with you ---------------------------------------------------------- April 17, 2016 Kolkata
