Hamas/Gaza War Musings #49: Life During War in 17 Syllables, Haikus

I've been writing Haikus for years and have a facebook group I call #morningcoffeehaiku. Pretty much every morning, while drinking my coffee, I describe my feelings in haiku form. That means three rows of text. The first has five syllables, second has seven, and the third five syllables. Writing these haikus has trained my mind to express myself in minimal words. 

Here are a few, most recent first:

Chodesh Tammuz Tov

pray and fight with equal zeal

we all have a job

VICTORY's needed

before celebrations start

enemies laughing

war's hibernating

at least Iranian front

I must "seize the day"

such confusing times

Iran is only one front

we're still in danger

Thank Gd for so much

though the road is much further

for true VICTORY

looking for humor

while world wants to destroy us

Jewish survival

wartime exhaustion

but sans VICTORY can't end

being realistic

victories end war

simmering is just deadly

we need VICTORY

summer finally

talking about the weather Can I ignore war?
