Haiku for the Heart

Here are some extra Haiku poems (as well as a few other poems) related to the book a little piece of ground by Elizabeth Laird.

In the deep blue sky,

We are flying free and good,

Then my wings are shot

My hopeless tears drop,

Into the ground of no hope,

Nothing we can do

The time has come back,

A time to fight for freedom

We shall get it back

The darkness has spread,

All over my home country

A permanent one

My hope, my love gone

in the hands of Israelis

When will it come back?

The people think bad

Israelis are a full moon

Too heavy, just fall!

Israeli soldier ’s point of view

Weaklings in danger

shame because of orders

If they could feel it

Leaving their own land,

Their feelings must be heartless

Please, understand us

We have to attack

Leaving mear feelings behind

For our own country

Scared, anxious and sad

Just wish this war would end soon
