Notes About The Poem

- Haiku X 67 - La Vie De Paris -

A pleasant evening
Romantic streets in Paris
Killed, done in cold blood


Picture as warzone
Music stops and ball rolling
A nightmares in live


The death in Paris
Fire with assault rifle
France close its borders








     * * * * * * * * * * * * * 


A definition of evil:  Goodness absence - No compassion
Are some people born without heart and becomes obsessed with the power of evil ?


Fear and crying
Gurgling stream of hate
My pain for the world
Give me your hand
Always by your side

Very sad and it's a blame and shame to humanity. i feel something sometimes that it will take another 10000 years for the world as a whole to touch the perfect level of humanity. God bless all the good people of the world. Invaluable dedication. Loved always my lovely lovely friend,bl

You combine the salient points of this sad event in just 3 haiku, Anne Lise. A sequence from joy to death. What a waste of innocent lives! You do well to raise more awareness through your pen, sweet poetess! Hugs // paul

Such a sad event, too. Your well chosen words capture the madness of it all. Will keep Paris AND Beirut in my thoughts and prayers. Really, all those that are affected by terrorism, without regard to where they live!

Men will always fight...It is in their nature. Every civilization that ever existed, be it great or small, was built out of sacrifice and someones spilled blood. To deny this immutable fact would be to deny the very essence of the "Natural Order" of all things. The world, indeed the very universe, is not a "Nice" place. It is, by its very nature, a violent one...And that will remain eternally so. Beautifully expressed, Anne Lise. My very best regards! :) john

Anne Lise, this is timely... sad that such is happening!! I pray for the world and the families of the victims.. And to those who did such crimes, may God have mercy on them.. and to those who are planning to disturb world's peace may they be convicted by their conscience and remember the importance of life... hugsxx~Olive Eloisa =`)

Of course, I didn't mean "tiTTle"... I meant "tiTle"... :-) ---- And "la Vie Parisienne" might also be a suitable title... (not tittle). Terry

Your haiku is such a great tribute to this very beautiful city my dearest friend, Anne. It's really so sad and my heart is bleeding right now. But Prayer is all we need in this world at the moment. I'm hugging your lovely write my dear friend. The title is fine, I think; 'though I don't know French lang. I'm just reminded by my most faved piano piece, a very romantic one: La Vie En Rose. Thanks a lot for sharing and for the lovely visit! A blessed wkend dear friend. <3 lots/many hugs Leonora

Your title translates to "The Life Of Paris". It is so sad what is transpiring in Paris and in the country. I love that beautiful city and all its art. I pray for the people in their sorrow. A lovely tribute Anne Lise!

the Life of Paris....somehow it varies....from romance, cuisine and flowers....to being the target of foolish cowards....God Teaches us to Love....and Vengence Belongs To Him Up Above....so what gives any man the nerve....to brainwash the weak minded, on Judgment Day, they will get exactly what they deserve....inspiring anne and my first words are the translation....;)
