This short senryu (not actual haiku) points out that the status of Ukraine is very much in need of peaceful resolution, but for now it appears, as in the last line, that it is a dream. I think there is much more going on there than meets the eye, as for some reason the Ukraine was on the list of countries the military bank I worked for was not supposed to do business with, in spite of it being favorable for the West. Secrets will have to be revealed eventually, but it is unconscionable that the general populace of Ukraine has to suffer.

Yes you offer a very effective opinion of which I tend to agree! Is there a shirley an element of corruption Is there in from more than one source I think. I do hope it ends soon. Thank you for your kind and insightful review. I'm going for your time I am grateful!

"The love of money is the root of all sorts of evil." Vivid illustration and excellent haiku form. Appreciate both the frustration and thoughtfulness you have illustrated in this short piece. Best of luck in the contest.

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Excellent senryu for the Haiku Poetry Contest. Haiku is about nature and the seasons of the year. Senryu is about human nature.
I hope Ukraine and Russia war ends soon. It's so senseless, we must stand for democracy with Ukraine.
I like the presentation too. Concrete images easy to visualize.
Good syllables count and connection between lines.
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Jasmine Girl
You are so right about this stupidity called "war". Yes. People are dying in thousands or more so the weapon manufacturers can make tons of money.
I also dream of a free Ukraine.

Comment from royowen
I don't think greed is the motivator this time, as Hitler's motive wasn't greed either, it was power I suggest, I think it's similar with Putin, mind you there won't be an end to narcissistic people in this, who think they have self divinity, as the greedy or ambitious, beautiful written Lea, blessings Roy

Thank you Roy thank you so much this always. I'm glad to hear from you and you're reduced your time I'm appreciative of as well. I hope that the sun is shining where you're at. I'll be back right. But aren't power and money almost hand in hand I think so either motivator is good. Thank you again I hope you have great evening!

Yes, they are both deceitful
Comment from Regina Elliott
Dear Poet, all war has ever
been is a waste of human,
and sometimes animal life
(war horses, war dogs.) The
soldiers are too young to die.
So are civilians, many of them
children. I've been wanting to
travel about 8 hours to the
Gettysburg National Park.
I've got very arthritic knees
and don't walk as well as I
used to. If I get to go, I would
need to take one of the tour
mini-buses, or a car with
the tour guides. I'm getting
off-track here. My best wishes for the contest.
Good luck â??ï¸?

Comment from karenina
Yes. Profound in simplicity, which begs the question, why do we persist in destroying one another based on invisible lines we call "boundaries?" I've always thought "Holy War" was the premier example of an oxymoron...
This is terse. It is pointed. It is the truest call for peace!

Comment from Ricky1024
The Evil of Valdamire Putkin goes way back in Russia's Evil History.
All these ruling maniacs need to go out with a bang.
Prime Example:
Valdamire Lenin:1917~1924.
Known to have killed possibly 10 Million.
Two Million Peasants alone by starvation.
...
Valdamire Putkin:: 2000~ Present.
Current Death Toll: 200,000
Russian Troops.
Russian Ukraine Death Toll:
8.1 Thousand.
But my question is it as ll worth it Lea?
Good luck with your contest entry.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
The war in Ukraine is a tragedy and it is all down to one man's jealousy and bullying. Whenever we have a despot dictator on our hands we have a senseless war and others suffer. We have Ukrainians who have settled in our town and have escaped the crisis and their children attend my Granddaughters school and they have been welcomed. A poignant write Lea, love Dolly x
