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
