This is for Ryosuke Suzuki, Japanese friend and poet in Odawara, Kanagawa
with whom I exchange haiku. My heart weeps for his country and his safety.



 

 

tsunami growls

and the hostile sea swallows

the morning sun

Yes, an irony in the Land of the Rising Sun
and a horrific tragedy. Gene, your words
are humane and full of understanding and reaching out.

Gene, this is emotion trying in desperation to cope with the immense power of earth and sky as it overwhelms humanity. We observe and we are in awe. We weep and the clouds and disaster will not disappear nor our fears abate. My wishes and prayers for your friend's safety. I bid you love and peace my dear friend. Jon Michael

This is exquisite, the effect you create here of sound and imagery!

I find it so difficult to understand the darkness of all that is happening. I have been eating I can't even tell you how much chocolate. It does seem too much to grasp.
Ever,
Christine
