pied piper busker  
rats riddled with bullet holes 
Grim's shopping mall spree

a blowback haiku

drinking the earth dry 
sand grinds human hearts to dust 
fossils burn oil fields

a propaganda haiku

wind borne nightmares seed
panic and chaos blossom
death spores spread on bread

a tanka by a wanka 10 vladimir putin

there's a Vladimir
a cur who likes to putin 
mothers cry pullout 
i'm not a nato he laughs
ploughing on with his sickle

authors notes 
nato - North Atlantic Treaty Organization. 
nato means -no action talk only.
women use this expression  to describe a certain type of man. 

a reaping haiku ⚰️⚰️

teaching standards bomb 
grim reapers cluster round schools 
to collect their kids

authors notes -between 2018 and 2019 i wrote a collection of reaping haikus about gun violence  of which i only ended up posting one. 
the russians invasion sadly prompted me to post a second one,. i chose this one as its been reported the russian army is using cluster bombs  , i rewrote the 1st line to fit as originally this was about mass shootings and the second line took on a new horrible  meaning..

a deterrent haiku

licking the war flame 
taste the scorched sacrifices 
puke on fowl nuke broth

a last stand haiku

coffins on shoe racks 
both feet soaking in a grave
toes dig in to stay
