                                       Pretty children rest in peace
                                             Let us pray for them

                                            The kids were victims
                                       The shooter was victim too
                                             Let's not put a blame

                                                 Exclamation sign
                                          Love family, love it right
                                        Don't loose, hug them tight

                                                  Dear educators
                                           Part of the victims as well
                                               The lifetime tribute

                                           Mourn traveled the world
                                         Burn by cause last on effect
                                               Careful in our steps

My Family


Nearly six decades
still side by side in our life
with dear family

Three children now grown
one son and two sweet daughters
all our pride and joy

Those three multiplied
became six when each married
our family grew

From those six, new life
five grandchildren came to us
two boys and three girls

Now age twenty-six
on down to age seventeen
where did the time go

Another "grandson"
one granddaughter now married
besides us, we're twelve

Nearly six decades
from two, so many new lives
we are truly blessed

                                           mothers forever
                                  love their children as own souls
                                          that no other can

Starving children die

Peacefully the greedy sleep 

Humanity's shame!*







© Demetrios Trifiatis
         10 July 2018


* According to UNICEF more than 15.000 children die each day because of starvation!
If only humanity showed the same compassion as in the case of the trapped in the cave of Thailand children, we certainly would have a much better world

First day to school is very good for children like us, very cool.
We meet our new friends and old one’s too,
But we don’t know we should catch whom.
Children are excited to know the teacher,
As they need a good future.
 We come to know the rules of school,
So that we do not work according to us like fools.
We share our tiffins and tell our feelings,.
We ask last year’s percentage ,
To know whether the child is of good stage. 
We give our introduction lovingly,
So that everyone may know us clearly.
There is nothing to study much as its first day, full of fun.
We go home hand in hand ,
To remain life long friends….

                                           children play conkers

Very hot season
Vacation time for children 
Time to take a swim

Degeneration
Children in beauty contests
Shame on their parents

I have written this haiku after having seen on television that some people brings children 
of 2 to 6 years to beauty contests to win money and with the scope of launching them in 
show careersThis cannot be tolerated: children must be respected!

Sun and sand and beach
Life has some lessons for me
Be all  you can be!

Sad conversations
May healing come to you soon
And children be safe!

For all you have done
And wherever you may be
May you rest in peace!

           


           Finally perfect
           high in the top the green tree
           The christmas star shines

           The lights are shining
           all the children should sleep now 
           Christmas  tomorrow

            No children crying
            a night with good sleep sweet dreams
            Gifts under the tree




    
                 

                                The wish is old and yet so real.
                              A peaceful Christmas I wish for you !

Watching children play
Happily in deep autumn leaves
Stills my soul.

Mother's hope shot!
Who will rescue tomorrow?
Unending woe...
..............................................
Midnight town crier!
Women and children take cover
Men running to war.
..............................................
Dry leaf swaying down
Looking from where it falls
Fresh leaves, take caution.
.............................................
Not minding the meat,
Isolated to ponder,
Woeing solution
...........................................
Plates without hope
war came frowning
never to smile.

Storm coming, madam
Me-- I’m going up country-- 
Lay low and stay sweet*


*stay sweet--stay alive

Note: Political unrest near Nairobi, Kenya due to election strategiesPolish nun told me that she was warned by a local moonshine runner to hideToo lateShe was pistol whipped by local police who wanted more protection moneyDidn’t get the money (it was a free clinic, so nurses had no money) Police beat the nurse/nuns and absconded with the very rare and precious AIDS meds to sell to the hospitals.Free AIDS clinic was forced to close.(Kenyan government does not have free health care for the poor)   Nuns are recovering then being transferred to other clinicsThree went back to Europe forced into early medical retirement due to permanent injuries sustained by police and/lootersThe care program(education and/or placement) for the children whose parents were AIDS patients is goneChildren have taken to the streets in desperation Count your blessings.

LIFE 
Life is a gift
But we have never cared
Destruction of the rain forest
And no animal is spared
Arise great Pro-man
Now raise up your sword
Do not let materialism deceive you
So stick to your word
The petroleum wells will dry up some day
And they will be no money for you to pay with in that way
The gold mines will diminish one day
And there will be no fields for our children to play
Arise Pro-human
Defend mother earth
Do not think of wealth
Or all that you can get
Life is beautiful
So let us be dutiful
As a Good Samaritan
And help your fellow African
Chinese or European
In need
To create a paradise devoid of greed
That is what I call Utopia
Not until we die
When it is all over
We can not let the children suffer
I have seen pain in my old days
The weak rise 
And the mighty fall
Armies rise to fight at the clarion call
Only the truth remains
Like a tree that stands tall
In the next millennia where shall we be?
Vanity after vanity
The rest is history
Life is a gift
And love is a blessing
Let us unite this world
And teach a good lesson

    Eggs colored pastel,
Hidden all around the yard,
    Children having fun!

Together at last
Your children are my children 
My children are yours

daylight brings new hope
giving you a second chance
where god's children shine

   you follow my ghost
too late you came to save us
  did your children learn?

     young couple in love
nurturing parents now gone
       left their legacy

       global  heritage
 french, spanish, lil' italian
       irish and german

      a real smorgasbord
  main ingredient was love
       served to all of us

        one older brother
younger sister - my best friend
       grew up on a farm

        life was lots of fun
 but there was work to be done
     raised with faith in God

        strong lineage tree
branched with children of our own
       fed with lots of smiles

Life is colorful,
Bright, vibrant and always fun
For children and fools.

 
By his attitudes
your uncle resembles
a machine with laughs in brightness! 
With some difficulty
most people stop themselves
from laughing.
Besides, are they are in a state
to laugh -
poor people?
Their problems exceed their means,
high costs exclude...
their children are untenable.
Their waiting
lags behind
the century
Finding
nothing else in place
he grabs passers-by
by the nose...
a gag in one hand,
a carrot and an onion
in the other.
As a matter of fact...
what does he want,
your uncle?

Great men think alike
Great women think differently
Great children breathe air.

A lake so calming-

 when frozen, now children splash.
  
  The Sun in control.

Poverty

Delicious Food!
One more child dies of hunger-
Somewhere out there now!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

*** And what can you do??? Try not to waste it!!!

Thoubert Larus in tribute to the hungry children dying out there right now of 
starvation!

 

  hot summer's day -
  children play in
  gushing fountains

     
     children put to bed -

     working girl

     prepares for nightshift

one family
five children..
rabid dog bites dad

death angel visits
widow left to fend...
children's life hard

one pat of butter
slipped through four fluffy biscuits..
poverty

child works picking peas
goes to the field everyday...
fabric bought for dress  

My mother's father was bitten by a rabid dog
the doctor order shots for him and told him
do not get out and get hot just take it easy.
He went to move the sawmill and was taken
ill with the disease..He died leaving my mother's
mother to rear five children ages 6 months to
12 years on her own..Life was hard..This was in 
1905..She said that she would not marry and 
have another man over her and her children.

"A ghoul's parade"Time remains still for
The silent, eternal march
Of children disguised

"Fun for All"Black and orange smiles
A knight of ghastly terror
for playful sprites


"Darkest night of the year"A powerful howl
pierces the children's laughter
The cold hallows wind


"Haunting holiday"A pre-November
unforgiving melody
"Happy Halloween"

*Entry for the halloween haiku contest, is this what you meant by more than one entry?
I added titles to differentiate them.

Humid evening
Hot air and disease;
Flu bug on parade!


Old age looks forlorn
My neighbour sits alone;
Keeps own company


Day turns to night time
Cyber sensations;
Wind blown haikus


My mother died alone
Late June last year;
Still, I see her face


Two poodle-terriers
Snoopy and Bear;
Canine matrimony


My dead father
In my mirror glimpse;
Startling son-rise!


Traffic jam scenario
Car number 5000;
Sporty impatience!


Lotus posture here
Waiting on no-thing;
Something happens


Morning Glory flowers
Climbers on the fence;
Noisy children play


Fifty floors above
Skyscraper joggers;
Evening escalates


Stranger smiles
Crowded minimart queue;
Awkward silence cut


Waiting lift crowd
Together yet alone;
Stress and strain percolate


Remember
To remember;
Happy ever after


Words cannot
Even tell enough;
Non-fat skimmed milk


Work hard
Diet plan;
Manage self-image!


Our great old man
Frail as bamboo charcoal;
May peace abide


Bright legacy
Warm harmony;
Sepia continuity


Ink my name
On rice paper;
Rain dissolves all


Not much
Not even;
Not enough


Words on electrons
Cyber storage works;

For women and children think too:
If the money are real thing - work is true,
But think twice - trade union is a paradise!

the Christmas tree stands   
ornaments on center and top...
grandson now thirteen

I know not correct Haiku..

When my children were coming up,
I would let them help decorate the tree.
One year all the decorations were on 
the two bottom tiers..

The same way with my grandsons..
This year I asked Caleb who is 
thirteen now to come help.
When I thought we were finished,
I stepped back and looked...Most of 
the ornaments were in the middle and 
close to the top..He has really grown..

                                             red tomato's bunch
                                          they're united brothers 
                                             all over the world

                                          one's small others' big 
                                         same parents' obedient 
                                           children all they are

                                         same color same dress
                                     without fragrance captivate
                                           all passers near by

Moody sky
Lightning whiplash;
Stormy water colours

~~~~~~~~~


Potted plants
Passageway decor;
Blooming orchids

~~~~~~~~~


Pedestrian walkway
Route to somewhere;
Day bazaar stalls

~~~~~~~~~


Blue butterflies
Fluttering around;
Plumeria blooms

~~~~~~~~~


September moon
Romantic hints;
Streaking teardrops

~~~~~~~~~


Pulse of morning
Bamboo pines sway;
Breeze whispers softly

~~~~~~~~~


Silver bangle
China momento;
Copy original

~~~~~~~~~


Yellow bird rest
Enroute;
Sings of old times

~~~~~~~~~


Old cabaret
Vintage moods linger;
Old building restored

~~~~~~~~~


Old era compound house
Oxford Road guava tree;
Fond memories intervene

~~~~~~~~~


Traditional wedding
Friend's daughter bride;
Happy festival here

~~~~~~~~~


Search and browse
Used books sale;
Treasured keepsake

~~~~~~~~~


Muddy lotus pond
Hot midday sun;
Purity sparkles

~~~~~~~~~


Happy children play
Spontaneous frolic;
Virgin innocence

~~~~~~~~~


New media connections
Yet loneliness expands;
Cyberspace touch points

~~~~~~~~~


Extravagant outlook
Spending tomorrow's wealth;
Retrogradation

~~~~~~~~~


Brief tryst in time
Insanity extrapolates;
Nightmares lurk

~~~~~~~~~


Tall grass verge
Stray flowers sway;
Unnoticed treasures

~~~~~~~~~

Little children play,
By the seaside, by the shore,
By the sandy coast.

Mr Ronnie James Dio
The Sign of the Southern Cross
Black Sabbath Mob Rules
 
 
 We are " Children Of The Sea " look out
     *< Dedicated to Catie Lindsey >*



http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/music.php

In a room full of adults,
I see only children at play
Who will guide the future...
When tomorrow is birth?

Young children at their best
are like growing flowers, 
bright and fresh.

One more poem, Lord
Let my heart diffuse in words
Candle wax of love

One more drain of grief
The songs that make children smile
Flower spoilt by fruit

One more gift of grace
To fence death in coming night
In eternal song

And much more for love
The moth upon flame ignites
The wonder of eyes

One more poem, I
Darkness of universe, light
Saints on pilgrim shores

Give me heart to write
Upon bright in drops of dew
I quench sun's thirst too

On a summer day
A day with children at play
Memories come back

The old neighborhood
How we used that neighborhood
So seldom inside

Our dirty    bare feet
At games   in constant motion
Lungs alive with joy

Drooping in at eve
And nearly too tired to eat
We lay down    at last

To sleep    dream away

A thousand phantoms linger
On a summer day

         Truckers Prayer:
Dark hill, sliding ice
O cargo of faith suffice
Wheel my heart to thee
                                          Miners Prayer:
                                     From heaven so far
                                     A darkness mines shafts of fear
                                     And your footsteps here
Shippers Prayer:
Sleep within my heart
Where breaks the tumult of sea
Like a voice of calm
                                         Mothers Prayer:
                                     Hold my hand always
                                     And my love when you are worn
                                     By life's feet in you
Pastors Prayer:
Kneeling lone I stand
For all I am, at thy throne
Vessel of a man
                                           Children Prayer:
                                      The light blinds our heart
                                      May our eyes see unseen things
                                      Covered by your grace
A Man's Prayer:
Dust fracturing light
Put a rainbow in my place
Blanket for the night
                                                           

Flow of current

Till night his absent
Into the four wall room
Flow of current can't glow

Marriage at sixteen 
Always favor of him
Blushes mind as in show 

Compare with other 
My husband is amicable
Always pour behavior agreeable more

So bearing children more
My family dances in street and court
No jealous if other duplicate.


 

This is what I mean
From his father he has had
Juicy humour genes

Jeans look so genial
Specially the Jeans turtle
At the Jeanie mart
 
Are you feeling low 
May try Gene Krupa solo
And feel how leaves grow

Also may see him
I mean General Gene, for
Boost in dopamine


Jeans for the Genes day
Brings thrill to children who are
Heritably ill

REMOVING SHOES!
  -Dharga Nagar Safa

Monsoon rain pouring,

Roads flooded,

School children removing their shoes!

                   Fantastic Fantasy

                            Two third part of Earth
                          Flooded by ancient sea
                                Was Aqua Ocean
                                                             Life started in sea
                                                         Evolution was going
                                                            Fishes were evolving

                Fantastic species
               Fish with tail raised human head
               Was termed Humanish

                                                              Above waist human
                                                        Below waist shiny scaly fish tail
                                                          Swam propelling two hands

           Merman was male version
           Better half was known Mermaid
           Humanish cheered

                                                          Ages were passing
                                                       More evolution went on 
                                                         Tail transformed to legs
          First male child was born

silhouette visage 
scare awake the silent dead
on Allhallows eve

weird sounds penetrate
wildly woods so dark and deep
making one cower

a cold eerie chill
overtakes a breathless evening
waking dead spirits

fears manifest great
sullenness apprehensions
scaring one to death

little children lurk 
the streets full of kindly houses
with fun faces that awe
