It’s the first of the month and you know what that means! Poets, choose your own syllabic poetry form, theme, words, images, etc. It’s up to you!

So the news intervened in my choice today. The explosion in Lebanon’s capital Beirut yesterday prompted me to write the chain of Haiku below. As if the Lebanon has not got enough issues. As of writing this it’s not known if this incident was an horrific accident or act of war/ terror. I am praying for the dead and injured, numbered in the thousands.

I am combining Colleen’s Tuesday Tanka Challenge with Ronovanwrite’s invitation to try out his own new form of Haiku which he has named Shi Rensa Haiku. Here is his explanation.

Beirut

Kindness in measure

Helps us to flourish and grow

Please extend a hand

To those stricken by evil

In a far off land

Lives stolen and ripped apart

Look deep have a heart.

Look deep have a heart

We need to find new kindness

There is not enough.

God Bless Manchester.

I have waited and thought all morning wondering should I say something. I have come to the conclusion that I should.

Manchester was rocked and shocked last night after the Ariana Grande Concert at The Manchester Arena a suicide bomber set off a bomb and so far 22 people are dead and 59 are injured, many life threateningly. Information here

God Bless Manchester

God bless Manchester,you have heart

You all pull together last night

When lives were blown apart.

People helped each other,they did what was right.

Why attack innocent children

“In the name of God”, that’s wrong!
God, whatever name you give them

Would never want you kill, especially not the young.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I best not say anymore though my heart is full of words. I send love and hope to the families whose lives have been shattered and changed in a split second. All this on a night when they were out for fun. A night when whoever did this knew the arena would be full of youngsters and children with parents.
