Carpe Diem's HAIKU

Carpe Diem Special #117, Tomas Tranströmer’s 3rd ”a mother of stone”.

The boy drinks his milk
and sleeps cozy in his cell,
a mother of stone
© Tomas Tranströmer

Jailed into myself
Unbreakable fence captures
Mother of sadness.

War is not over
Bring some well-meaning actions
Giving love a chance.

Longing and wishing
Summer meadow is flowering
Waiting for lovers.

    Your other haiku about Yazidi girls was so good. So important.

      Yes I like that one myself. I put it in my political blog.

I could not find a place to comment on your previous haiku so I shared it on Google+; Very intense emotions of longing here!
