Haiku

Our writing group met in Aug. and the theme for next meeting is either "new beginnings" or haiku. I tried a haiku today on Katrina. These are my poor first efforts.

Flood, famine, looting
Victims sitting and waiting
Test of a nation

Water, death, rubble
Angry eyes, waiting asking
When are you coming ?

No comments:

Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,
A medley of extemporanea;
And love is a thing that can never go wrong;
And I am Marie of Romania.
Dorothy Parker, Not So Deep as a Well (1937)
