Anti-War Haiku Wall
Carmen Sterba (Japan)
Recently I have joined a silent protest in front
of the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo against any war in Iraq by carrying a sign
with haiku rather than a slogan.
These are the haiku:
talk of war
the fresh slate of the new year
already sullied
Carmen Sterba (USA/Japan)
charred bodies
of women and children
friendly fire
suhni (USA)

Carmen's links
bushwar the alternative to fixing things at home
telling again my ominous thoughts about president
bush
after the war even the deerhunter stops shooting
bodycount your people for our people
eye for an eye the way of more than one country
plans to visit the 'Holy Land' I urge my son not
to go
the poor are ignored when rage takes over the hills
and valleys
'the world would be better without Hussein' and who
comes next?
again the people take to the streets memories of
another war
haiku for The 36th A-Bomb Memorial Day Haiku Meeting, 2002:
shadows gather -
a college student carries
an anti-war poster
pacifist teacher -
a lesson on Sadako
and one-thousand cranes
