Poems/Not Poems | Poetry Saves: War & Peace Poems

Four Haiku

By Karma Tenzing Wangchuk

 
 

 

Valentine’s Day—

the roses this year

smell faintly of blood

(First published online at www.poetsagainstthewar.org)

 

Tax day—

every dollar will buy

a piece of flesh, of bone

(First published online at www.poetsagainstthewar.org)

 

Hiroshima Day—

in my heart, I release

a thousand cranes

(First published online in 2004 at www.wagingpeace.org)

 

Memorial Day—

row after row of gravestones

stand at attention
