I've been writing haikus for quite awhile, generally what I label #morningcoffeehaiku. They used to be rather banal about coffee, morning and sunrise, but as this awful war has been going on, dangerously endlessly --yes, even after the release of living hostages-- sometimes my formerly innocent haikus have concentrated on the Hamas/Gaza War. Following are some recent ones. Feel free to share and comment.
VICTORY's our reward for
fighting enemies
I'm too powerless
too really affect the world
for true total VICTORY
Disaster awaits
I'm terrified of future
war will follow "deal"
much worse than any other
some holy work still goes on
Where's the victory?
Bibi gave up sovereignty...
Succot Holiday
escape from reality
not for good, I have no doubt
There's more danger now
deal's suicidal for sure
As I went through my Morning Coffee Haikus, I was surprised to discover that all I had written about was the war and lack of VICTORY. Gd willing there will be a major change. Please pray and do whatever else you can, like sharing my thoughts... thanks.

You write of: being powerless, in need of bravery, terrified of the future, worried...
Batya, it is with deep faith, strength, unity, and perseverance we win!
Gd willing...
Batya, we've been here before... same ol', same ol' incompetent, inept, "spectatorship" political leadership doing just enough to anger most citizenry regardless of their political leaning and not satisfy anyone - except, of course, the useless idiots abroad and their idiotic whims who don't have any skin here. Follow the money...
yup, but because Bibi has been Prime Minister for so long, too many people just can't imagine anyone else in the position. There must be a term limit law and an age limit. Civil servants, even teachers, are supposed to retire by 70.
We have to fight it all to win. Silence is the worst thing. That's why I keep talking and blogging.
