Haiku by Reshida Coba
from south to north
birds asking the earth
– how to save you ?
earth’s note –
why did you build high towers ?
i have – high trees
football game
birds chirp more in the land
of the local team
anthill protest
after added emojis of all creatures
singing – earth anthems
earth will…
i didn’t promise you wealth
but-the glory of green
worried earth
why ever in orbit i will not roam
why…Humans…why ?
moon laughs
calling the earth
big round rock
earth’s conversation …
with trees that no longer wave
what humans had better than us?
winter night
the ground covered by snow
reminds me – the skin mask
rain and snow
argue long with land
who landed first
wise earth
prepared of species extinction
records all birdsongs
wooden drawbridge
grandfather’s steps slow down
the earth’s rotation
