Haiku Moment 14

HAIKU MOMENT 14


Old hostilities
Ancient violence;
Terror re-enacts now

~~~~~~~~~


Human nature
War of violence;
Paradise lost

~~~~~~~~~


Friendly enemies
Deceit malingers;
Crafty exploits

~~~~~~~~~


Human tragedy
Mocking comedy hurls;
Pain conspires revenge

~~~~~~~~~


To all our hurts
Love heals;
Forgive and forget

~~~~~~~~~


Joy awaits
Here and now;
Decide freely

~~~~~~~~~


Love abounds
Peace illuminates;
Heart feels light

~~~~~~~~~


Bleaching grey sky
Raindrops misty;
Windy wet flush

~~~~~~~~~


Heavy traffic
Winding road congestion;
Slippery accidents

~~~~~~~~~


Evening exchange
Cars horning impatience;
Silly anxiety

~~~~~~~~~


Grand lottery prize
Big plush winnings;
Happy windfall

~~~~~~~~~
