We have decided to change the theme from March from “Events and Festivities” to “Haiku for Peace.” This change was made due to our sincere belief in the power of words to guide us in the direction we hope. Please send us your haiku for peace using the submission page.
Haiku for peace
For a time, my thoughts
Linger on those lands to which
The swans return home
Madoka Mayuzumi
-“Haiku for Peace” from various fields –
Flowers in full bloom
Carry thoughts of my dear friends
From lands far away
The sunflower field
Overflowing with the sound
Of children’s voices
Former Minister of Defense, Former Minister of Foreign Affairs Taro Kono
May winds passing through
Fresh green leaves at the border
To those waiting there
Minister of Foreign Affairs
Yoshimasa Hayashi
