Haiku Peace Talks thread
When we tire of war
And long for friendship, beauty;
Let's gather for peace.

Try to say something
In kindness, to your neighbor.
Spread the love, my friends!

1. Spread the love? OK....
Put your hands behind your head
Feet back, and spread 'em.

2. Your hate has hardened
Clearly, like Bush, you are
Addicted to war.

This is a safe zone
No weapons in here, nada!
Only doves, olives.

4. I shall roast your dove.
And spit on your olive branch.
Fighting's too much fun.

and paddle you black and blue.
I bet you'd like that...

10. The Bush has better

Manners than to speak like that
Inside the UN.

You're being detained
As a terrorist suspect,
An enemy of peace.

3. too much alliteration, but what do you want right after lunch?
Think of it as Anglo-Saxon Haiku.

No buds on branches
broken and blackened by war.
Where shall I find spring?

7. Your verse makes me weep
So true ring its sentiments
Yet, spring will come, friend

9. Better (feeling at least)
In a blackened tree
among smoldering ruins
a bird has nested.

13. Yes, it made a tremendous impact on me
AT 46, I grew up reading and idolizing the Beat past. And, being a native of N'wawlins, well, there is a saying that San Francisco is one of the few places from which migrants from N'wawlins dont' return.

And now, of course, I live in Fargo, N.D. Oh! the things we do for love.

Thanks for your kind words.

5. So sayeth the holy...
Who all pray and hope in fear
Of God's Damnation.
