Kyoto Haiku Project, Writing on the “Peace” 2024

 

cold eggs in the nest -

so many orphans 

around the oak tree 

 

 

a seed of peace 

carried away by the wind -

 no one plows

Kyoto Haiku Project, Writing on the “Peace” 2024

 

breaking war news - 

child watching a puddle

turning back to clouds 

 

 refugees -

the breath of a girl melts 

a doll shop window

lit little window -

carols rising to the sky
from the bombed village

wartime conditions -

grandpa carving a horse out
of the crushed walnut

cold eggs in the stork's nest -
around a home made table
a few war orphans

armistice day -
children out of the shelter
climbing cherry trees
