Haiku for 2026 [No. 2. Her Neighbor Is My Neighbour]

“The British and the Americans

are two peoples

united by a common language:

that of love!”

Yours Truly, 16/1/26

[apologies to GB Shaw]

Love, on the front line,

Murdered: there for her neighbor.

Poet in motion.

Le Uilleam Ó Ceallaigh,

ag a dó dhéag a chlog,
