(A set of four haiku)
…
water and blood birthed
a gulp of air and loud cry
violence starts life
…
never certainty
only change itself is sure
storm winds come and go
…
fire flood and plague
such a life we live and lead
what legacy lasts?
…
ashes to ashes
to earth and dust we return
what does it all mean?
…
[Author’s Note: I count ‘fire’ as two syllables as I pronounce it the same as ‘higher’. The three online syllable counters I’ve checked with count it the same way.]
