Generation Geography Limp

Albert's Poetry Caf�- : write ten Haiku (5 - 7 - 5). Each Haiku must begin with a different word from the list: GENERATION /TERRITORIAL /PACT/ GEOGRAPHY/ PROMISED/ CONQUEST/ INVOKED/ ATRIUM/ PLANET/ YEAR

 

Generation child

Amplitude of species

Straighten in small days

                       

Artificial differences

Replacing the same

Old truths and ideas

 

Territorial

Limit amputated part

From lively being

 

Acquisition of matter

Ideals measured by power

Voting in dominant heroes

 

Pact between different

Ages agreeing fully bond:

Days fill with sorrows

 

Mistaken all over again

Running away from nature

Forgetting how to laugh

 

Geography limp

Spaces of empty drawers

Vanishing living  

 

Production study

Population divisions

Cement, iron and roads

 

Promised ground

Unknown future achievements

Assure closed hands

 

                        Heart in expectation

Let present run away

Into a patient vain waiting

 

Conquest personal

Subjugation affection

Acquisition: Fear

 

Tears make nests in trees

As wars kills the “enemies”

Images fly away from mind

 

Invoked witness

Appeal for lost paradise

Lumping inside out

 

Trying to reach gods

Praying for eternal peace

Bombing foreign lands

 

Atrium swallows

Self life covering forces

With empty truths

 

                        The pain of staying the same

                                    Fearing the chaos of change

                                                Building porticos and bunkers

 

Planet revolving

Moving its heavy body

Deaf, indifferent

 

Around a silenced star

Desires to conquer wisdom

Exploring the innocent

 

Year limping in years

Generation’s broken glass

Celebrating wars

 

Please, bring a broom

Sweep, clean and learn lessons

Let us find new peaceful truths

Whether it fits the challenge or not, the final lines sum up a very meaningful intent. Yes, "let us find new peaceful truths." Wonderful poem, Angi. Sharon
