Not So Happy Haiga Day

off to "camp"

no drawn-out
goodbyes

only time enough
to remove the laces from
the two-year-old's sneakers


To see a photo of a mother unlacing her child's shoes, click here and go half-way down the page. Then take a second to consider why shoelaces are required to be removed.

  1. Thanks for writing, Diane. It is a terrible thing being done to the refugees and to our country.

  2. Your poem and the article brought me to my knees. All I can do now is pray. Something must be done!
