#Haiku Happenings #5: Jane Dougherty’s latest #tanka for my current #haikai challenge!
For Frank Tassone’s haikai challenge. Poppies are disappearing from European fields because of intensive farming methods and the ripping up of hedgerows. As we destroy our natural heritage, we destroy our collective memories too.
years pass and
smooth the furrowed field
where no poppies bloom
blood bone beneath forgotten
like useless flowers
