the farmer makes a wife
for his scarecrow

“Haiku News is a weekly poetry journal which publishes socially engaged haiku, senryu, tanka and kyoka, pairing each poem with a news article to forge links between the poetic, the personal and the political.”
.
I paired the following article from The Independent newspaper “Teen spirit: What’s it really like to be a teenager?”
with the follwoing haiku:
.
eating rhubarb
faster than it grows
young love
.
scissors
instead of sewing—
remaining heat
.
singular beauty of chameleons remaining heat
.
9th, 10th, and 11th places, tied, in the 6th International Kukai
“Mexicans Pay in Blood for America’s War on Drugs”
.
tasting metal
the cup fills with news
of war
.
This haiku, linked with the article above, now appears in Haiku News: the personal is the political is the poetical
.
