This week our very own Fairy Whisperer Colleen Chesebro has given us the two words Hate and Pride for the Haiku, Haibun or Tanka prompt.
This week my Tanka is inspired by Geoff Lepard‘s post on the Killing Fields of Cambodia. His post is here.
Pure pride can instil
So much negativity
With hate the crowd fill
Why all move as one for ill
We’ve not learned from history.

Yes there is not much hope for the human race if we never learn. I agree Geoff’s post is hard hitting, and rightly so. 🌹
