Four Preludes to Four Haikus

Four Preludes to Four Haikus

I painted the four pictures whilst on holiday a week or so ago, purely as part of a creative “doodling” exercise.

I have just written these Haikus as a reponse to them.

 

  1.  

An empty Peace Square,

daylight on prison walls,

hope awaits outside?

 

  1.  

A sea of troubles,

full of Gazan mothers’ tears,

brimful, drop by drop.

 

  1.  

Ghost of a chance,

light at the end of the tunnel?

Prayers fly heavenward.

 

  1.  

We Christians pray

to the Trinity, but we’re

Friends of Genocide!

 

Le Uilleam Ó Ceallaigh,

Dé Luain, an chéad lá de mhí an Mheitimh,

an bhliain dhá mhíle is fiche a sé.
